As I was shopping for Easter with Courtney today, I realized how quickly she is growing up. This year, instead of the traditional basket, she picked out a new purse, which I will put her Easter Goodies in. Cute purse too might I add..
But I look back at the fun years of egg hunting and candy buying and realize those are now memories only. She is almost 14 and turning into a sweet young woman.
This must be how my mother felt as she watched me starting to spread my wings and test the world around me. I thought of her today as we were sorting junk in her basement for the garage sale. I loaded yet more of my stuff and took it out of her house(remembering that I haven't lived there in 17 years). I saw this quote and it is perfect:
It isn't an empty nest until they take all their stuff out of the basement!
