Dear Cam,
Well, my big girl, the day has come. Today is your last day at little school. Today, today, today…the baby days are truly over.
I can’t believe it. These must’ve been the fastest five years of my life thus far.
You’ve spent five years, growing up. Every day of them with your cousin. It’s with a sad heart that I think that you two won’t be going to school anymore. I’ve watched the two of you, together since infancy. You’ve grown together, you’ve learnt together, you’ve played together. You’ve been through so very, very much, together. With the addition of littlest cousin, you’re the awesome trio of cousins that make my heart sing.
And, yes, whilst the idea that, after today, you won’t be at each other’s side every day makes me very heartsore…it’s also a massive comfort to me that you two have the strongest bond I’ve ever seen. You’re cousins beyond compare, and best friends that hold each other’s hands.
Her mama said it this morning – our babies are ready to fly. And what strong wings you girls have.
As for those strong wings. We have been so blessed to have your wonderful teachers and fantastic friends. They’ve loved you, nurtured you, and kissed your ouchies better when we couldn’t. They’ve been with you, through some of the world’s worst days. They’ve loved you, just like we love you. I can’t thank them enough for their love.
I’m so proud of you, my Cam. So infinitely proud of you.
Love,
Mama
