Whether you’re having fun or not, time just keeps flying and the older I get, it seems to fly even faster. A couple of months ago, my daughter came home to tell me she’ll be staying late almost everyday after school until March for rehearsal of her school’s musical. It seemed like a long time to be shuttling her back and forth school! Well, this week, it was over. Already!
No more multiple trips back to the school after hours and we got to see last night what they did with all that time. We watched their production of My Fair Lady and were absolutely flabbergasted by what they were able to accomplish and how talented these kids are.
Looking at her beaming face up there, I can’t help but be the nostalgic mom and wonder where my little girl went and who is this young lady up there? What a great way to mark her 17th birthday which is on Tuesday. I won’t be able to sing “you are sixteen going on seventeen…” anymore. She’ll be seventeen!
Here’s a short snippet of the show…

Oh JMom! What is wrong with me? I can’t believe I got teary eyed with that! You’re pride in seeing your daughter be a part of that must be so strong it’s hitting me all the way here in the west coast! hahaha! These are moments I will never get to experience. But I can, vicariously, through stories shared like this. Thank you. It must have been a really wonderful show.
‘Nette! WOW! That was you in a recent version with the singing omitted. You’re truly blessed with brilliant daughters.
Watching this brought back so many memories and tears when our 16 year old was rehearsing in the State Orchestra. The many hours of sitting and waitng only to be blessed by these energetic talented kids. Thank you for sharing and I will sure be back.
Time does fly way to fast and that is why you have to enjoy every moment of it because you will only remember the best memories.
Yes you are so right about time and your off spring. My daughter turned 40 last year and I sometimes wonder where all the time went. But then you recall all those lovely events in between and you sort of know. My father often used to say ‘Time and tide wait for no man’ (and I guess no woman either). I am sure what he was trying to tell me was make the best of each moment because it will not be back
