RE: The little mouse (a fifty-word story)

in #fiftywords7 years ago

This is so sweet and beautiful, @adigitalife. My kiddos are growing up too (one in college, two in high school), and this piece really resonated with me. We can’t contain them; the very nature of parenting is about helping to push them forward toward maturity and self-reliance. So why is it so bittersweet, all along the way?

Sort:  

My daughter's actually in middle school. Outside of writing this story, I try not to think too much of her actually graduating high school. Time flies too quickly and they grow up so fast. It really is bittersweet!
