time...

This weekend my parents and I have journeyed up to St Louis to visit my Grandparents. My Grandmother said that she would give me my scrapbook that she has kept since I was born. She has plenty of pictures and all of my school stuff in it. I was going through it and I realized just how fast time goes by. When my grandparents came down this last weekend everyone was talking about how fast I have grown up. My Grandfather told me that it was just yesterday that I was in diapers and now I am driving them around town. When I finally started to think of everything, I finally started to realize it all. Highschool is more than half over for me. Soon I will be putting college applications in, shopping for dorm items, and ultimately, moving out. I will be headed away from them all to start shaping a life for myself. There wont be a G-Ma to come kiss my booboo when I trip over my untied shoes. There wont be a G-Pa to take me for nightly ice cream runs. There wont be Dad there to care for me and give me anything that I will ever need. There wont be a Mother there for me when I need a listening ear. Yes, they will be there if I need them, and yes, i c an always call them up, but it isn't the same. To know that when i get home there will always be someone there for me, for any need, is nice. Now dont get me wrong, i am excited about the fact that i am going to be out on my own soon, but its sad at the same time. It is a very bittersweet time that we will all be experiencing together.
