It was the big day that we had been looking forward to for months - the little sister was going to graduate from kindergarten! Well, actually, I looked forward to it not because I was too eager to see my kid reach this milestone and be a preschooler no more - in fact, I always wish time can slow down so I can enjoy the tiny them more - but because I knew she had spent a long time working for it.
I've watched her rehearse her acts - she had two dances, a thank you speech and a finale song - umpteen times and knew how much effort and thought she put into them. This girl of mine has always been the bubbly, sprightly one and I had no doubt that she was going to shine on stage. Still, I was feeling the jitters as I sat among the audience, just like how I felt the first time round.
It's weird, huh? I thought I might be more composed since this was the second graduation concert I've attended but no, I think there's something indescribable about seeing your child all dressed up in the mortarboard and graduation gown, and you have no idea how the years have flown by and how your tiny bundle of joy has grown into this outstanding human being in front of you.
I didn't want to cry, but I did. Uncontrollably. I blamed it on how seeing those baby pictures evoked a whirlwind of emotions in me, which were only worsened when they chose to play the piano version of one of our favourite songs - "A Million Dreams" - in the background. Gosh, I guess I just have to go through these emotional upheavals again and again, right? I guess in a way, they help to remind me just how lucky and truly blessed I am to be a mum who gets to witness all these precious milestones of her kids.
