Her First Day at the Big "K"

So this morning i took emma grace to her first day of kindergarten.......i can't believe it.....really.......
last night i was up making her this shirt and my mind wondered back over the last five and half years.......i thought about carrying her in my belly and the first day i had to share her with others.......it was hard for me to even let other people hold her......i wanted to protect her like i had the last nine months......but i couldn't......and God reminded me that she's His and not mine.......but i am so grateful to be her mother........then, i started questioning myself,,
have i taught her everything she needs to know for this big transition in her life? have i taught her to listen and obey her teacher? have it taught her enough to see thru the outside of people and look at their hearts? have i taught her to stand up for what she believes in,, even if no one else does?

my heart is aching today, because those first five years are gone,,,,,and i can never get them back.....she'll never be a baby again......

i remember reading something about letting go and letting ur kids spread their wings and fly....... i guess emma grace got her tiny wings today......and over the years they will grow, and i know that i will have to let her fly........but i must say,, i'm glad it's not today............
