Well, it's finally happening.

Graduation day is tomorrow. Somebody is going to be in college next year, and wow, I don't think I'm ready for this. I went by the playground last week on the way to somewhere else and was suddenly hit with the realization that the kids are much too old to go to the playground with me, and will be forevermore.

Some day, maybe, there will be grandkids?

Congratulations on the graduation, and good skill and fortune to the graduate.

So, you can just go to the playground on your own? Oh, okay, never mind! 8^D

No, what I’d meant was “Congratulations!” Now, what’s next is different playgrounds!

Yay! Somebody made it through high school. Good job!!!!

Going to the playground where I used to take them hit me in a similar way a couple of weeks ago, tied to the youngest graduating high school this year, I'm sure.

And congrats to the graduate!

I know what you mean. I had a similar feeling this morning watching a kid hold their parent's hand while walking - that probably won't happen again with me and my offspring.

Congratulations to your graduate! College is a huge and exciting transition.

I sometimes go past a playground and think that I wish I'd known it was there when my boy was of an age to enjoy it.

time is an odd thing. going by fast and slow at once.

congrats to the graduate!
