Parting is such sweet sorrow...


I am waxing on the passing of Gia's babyhood. Her 1st birthday is next week. I remember balling my eyes out when Ava turned one. Some wise friends told me that each year will bring more amazing memories and milestones and while I have learned that this is the case, and have witnessed it as Ava has grown into an independent preschooler, it doesn't make it any easier this time around. In fact, I think it's tougher because I have such an appreciation for how quickly these years fly by. I can honestly say I have savored every moment of this year. Most people that see me with her everyday are surprised to see her detached and walking all by herself. I never set her down until now, I was holding her as long as I could.
