Sprouting Bean

I can't believe I just sat through my first babies kindergarten graduation.
It was so surreal.
I still remember the day I had her and the moment she was laid in my arms.
That. Was. The. Game. Changer.
She reached in took hold of my heart right then and never let go.
She is my saving grace. The wake up I never knew I needed.
To this day she changes me and helps me grow. Without her I'd be lost.
This little girl is unlike any one I know. Her heart is soooooo big. And although I love this, it worries me. I am saddened to think of that heart hurting. I am fearful for this cruel world changing her innocence and unmatched love.
If you met her, you love her. There's no other way to do it. She sucks you in and you are hers.
Yes yes at times she can be a handful, frustrating, whiny, rebellious (as much as a 6y/o can be) and a kid. But beneath all that she is an old soul. She's gonna change the world. I can feel it. Her life will not be small. She will not remain small.
She is and always will be bigger than the tiny body that holds her.
I realize so many feel this way about their kids. That's fine, every parent should think their child is the best. If they didn't I'd be more worried.
So she's all graduated. Ready to move forward in the world and see where it takes her.
Watch out. Here she comes.
