Boo Hoo
There is nothing like a wedding to turn on the waterworks for me nowadays. We went to a friend’s nuptials over the weekend, and the mere sight of her walking down the aisle with her dad was enough to send me over the edge.
As a mother of three daughters, I automatically put myself in the parents’ shoes. I wonder what it must feel like to look at that beautiful bride and remember the little girl that she was. It’s a very tangible reminder that everything changes, although it seems sometimes like it’ll be potty training and time-outs forever.
So, bring on the weddings, and I’ll keep trying to remember to enjoy living in the moment.
