This was a day when seconds flew by like dandelion puffs.
In stark contrast, there were the memories.
Standing like bilboards of moments captured,
and now impossible to re-create, ever again. 
Long stretches of time in the afternoon, reading picture books, baking cookies and licking the batter, and the joy of watching someone discover something for the first time.
I would have been fine, if not for the slideshow of toddler pictures… as if it were yesterday.
There was so much joy,
mixed with so many endings.
I took it hard.
So is this the eldest finishing school? Three to go!!!
Loved looking back through some of these flashback posts.
