Today, I had to take Matthew over to get his senior portrait for the upcoming yearbook. This marks his final year of high school. He has taken the requisite ACT test and preparing for the next test in September and is spending the summer working on his college essay. No, he hasn't figured out what school he wants to apply to, nor does he know what he wants to major in. What he does know is that this is his final year of high school, his final year of being a "kid" and will soon embark on his journey through adulthood. As I watched from behind as he was posing for the various portraits, I was flooded with memories of a lot of firsts. Matthew's first tooth, first steps, first words and many other special moments. I became very nostalgic as I thought of all those moments and know that I am not ready for him to grow up. It only magnified that time has passed too quickly and we're getting older.
