When? How?

When did this happen? How is it possible?

I am officially the mother of a 16 year old. SIXTEEN. I know it’s a cliché, but it truly does feel like she just started kindergarten. How is it that I now only have two years left with her?

I hate thinking about it. I get a knot in the pit of my stomach. What am I going to do when she leaves for college? How am I going to handle not seeing her every day. I don’t remember what it felt like to not have her in my life. But I do know this, I was MUCH less happy before her. She gave me purpose. She made me feel whole. She truly is my entire life, my heart, my love, my world. She’s my baby.

Anyone got a time machine I can borrow?
