For the most part that is true I have a sense of pride when I look at my daughter and see her maturity. Her first trip on her own to a crazy busy gas station (in the rain) and she handled the situation fine and kind of laughed at me for calling her 5 times yesterday to warn her it was likely to rain and how to drive in the rain, she said mom take a deep breath we will get through this.

And as you know my oldest well she just breaks my heart but this too will pass....
Ugh... I don't even want to think about this being a possiblity.

I want Hannah to stay my little baby forever... who crawls up to me for kisses and snuggles. Who cries and needs me to comfort her.

I know she will grow up... and I look at my relationship with my mother and I look forward to that. but I want her to stay my little baby... FOREVER.

But... that's a pipe dream lol
