Won't let her go far

So much has happened in the last few months. Taylor has played for a state basketball title and got 3rd, went to state with the FFA Knowledge team, they were 15th in the state. The biggest thing though is that she completed her freshman year and is now a sophmore. I have had to realize that she will complete her high school journey in 3 years. Where has all this time gone. She has went from a smiling baby, to a little girl with curls, a awkward pre-teen, to what she is today an beautiful young woman. My heart is so full of joy everytime I look at her. There is nothing in this world like the love that you have for your child. My heart feels like it will burst at every step in her life. I have smiled with her, cried with her and laughed with her. She will be 16 in 5 1/2 months, I knew that this would happen, but I didn't want to think about her growing up. As I have watched her grow and change, I am beginning to understand that I will have to let her go and become a woman. Just know this.......I won't let her go far.
