This morning I made two batches of strawberry jam, bringing my total to 100 jars this year. That seems excessive, but HIll is giving jam as her wedding favors. I am so done making jam!
The wedding is in 10 days. I am in deep denial about the whole event. Not that I am not happy and excited, not that I don't adore Will; it is just that I am sad to think that Hill is moving away and I won't see her as often once she moves to Denver. I know that she loves Will and that they will have a happy, beautiful life together, but where did the time go? I have vivid memories about all the inconsequential times in her life. Like what she wore the first day of kindergarten, her halloween costumes, first solo driving trip, first date, piano lessons, watching her playing sports, reading to her at night, shopping together, report cards, meeting her friends, sending her off to school, listening to church talks, helping with school projects, bringing her home from the hospital, watching her grow up... to seeing her marry. Ten more days to have HIllary all to ourselves before she becomes a Mrs. We love her so much and will miss her, but welcome Will Winn into the family and know that life will continue to be great. It is all good (except this mom is having a tough time with letting go). Bittersweet
