Isis and Mikey Prom 2011There are several moments in my daughter's life that I been waiting for from the moment the nurse said...."It's a Girl".
The day she was born, the day she was baptized, her first communion, her Sweet 16 and the next on her...wups...MY list.....her Senior Prom.
Saturday, May 14, 2011 was my babygirl's Senior Prom.
From the moment she told she was going to prom, my heart hasn't stopped fluttering because I felt like it was me going.
Something happens to parents when our children live their lives...we begin to live vicariously through them.
My prom was almost 25 years ago and for almost 25 years I've been talking about me having a do over and that do over happened this past Saturday evening when I saw my baby girl dressed in her Tiffany blue floor length gown. She looked so breath taking as she did when the doctor placed her in my arms 18 years ago.
She told me she wasn't going to have a date, that most of her friends were going stag. I asked her, "Baby, you sure, I don't want you to feel bad without a date."
You wanna know how my daughter answered me?
"Mommy, I don't need a guy to take me so I could have a good time at MY prom, I'll be with my friends, I'm going to have a good time regardless."
My daughter: She marches to the beat of her own drum!
However....I didn't want not having a corsage for her prom to haunt her......like moi.
I had her lil brother, Mikey present her with a corsage and what a better picture for a mother to have than the one above.
