My boobear turns 12 tomorrow.  I didn't realize the feelings that would come with this.  She leaves for girl's camp in the morning, and while I send her to her dad's for a week at a time, I hesitate to send her off tomorrow.  Maybe it's because she is reaching a milestone in her life, that time to change from girl to young woman, and I just want to hold on to her a little longer.  
It's not often that I reflect on the quiet moments of being a mom.  But as I sit here and think, I can feel the great joy and miracle it is to be a mom and to have these moments.  And even though I don't want to let go, I can't wait to watch her walk on this new journey.
