graduation, babies and moms

KC graduated from college on Saturday so we had a fun day in Auburn celebrating.  We had a party afterward with KC's roomate Jake and his family.  His grandmother, Nana, was there.  She was, by far, my favorite to talk to.  And the story begins.....Jake is from a big family 4 boys and 1 girl.  (His mom is a rockstar.)  Well we asked Nana what she was doing for mother's day.  She replied "Hopefully, being by myself. My husband is going to fix me lunch and I just want to be by myself.  I told Jake this was it.  This graduation celebration counts as a mother's day celebration too."

I loved this.  I really feel like this will be me, good or bad.  I love to be by myself.  I can see that will be a treat after you have all these people running around.  They are a blessing, don't get me wrong.  But there is just a good feeling deep down inside about the thought of some alone time.  I love how when you get old you just become brutally honest.  No need to sugar coat.

My little brother.  And just like that he is grown up!
