Sierra has been "going out" with H.F. for quite a few months now. Well they finally had their first kiss yesterday. She is totally twitter-patted with this boy and from what we have heard, he is a great kid. We like him anyway. We also received a letter from the Utah Driver Licence Division for Sierra stating that she can apply for her learners permit in June. That's only 9 months away. My girl is growing up before my eyes. While it is fun and we are enjoying her so much, I am sad to think of how little time we have left with her as a child. Last night at work, out of the blue I started humming "Sunrise, Sunset" from Fiddler on the Roof. The tears were welling up. Raising kids is a tough business, I'm sure letting her go will be even harder. I love you sis!
"Is this the little girl I carried?
Is this the little boy at play?
I don't remember growing older
When did they?
When did she get to be a beauty?
When did he get to be so tall?
Wasn't it yesterday
When they were small?
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as we gaze
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears
What words of wisdom can I give them?
How can I help to ease their way?
Now they must learn from one another
Day by day
They look so natural together
Just like two newlyweds should be
Is there a canopy in store for me?
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as we gaze
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears"
