my daughter had her Jr. Prom last saturday. boy it is something to know that she is growing up. she had it more lucky than her brother did. As shegot older I was in recovery and she did not have to face much of the things that he did. Iam greatful for that. below is a picture and a little verse I wrote to well say how I feel about her growing up. I know I am a dad and as a dad its hard to let go of my little girl.

Wow, Mine went to junior prom too! I am working on her photos-They do grow up fast. I love the poem and am going to use it in her book-is it yours lunas? Need to give credit where credit is due- She saved for and bought this dress for herself! And got in an accident with my car before the dance-not hurt, just my poor car...... one way streets and turning left in front of other cars, my poor car....... it is in the shop, unsafe to drive-no left side mirror and door won't open, just for starters. Forgot to take pics of that-hope she has some!

Thanks lunas! Doesn't this make you want to break into a rendition of Sunrise, Sunset from Fiddler on the Roof? How did she get to be a beauty? Mine is 6' tall so I wonder, when did she get to be so tall? Two 6' daughters! One season following another.......

PM me your real name so if it ever got famous, you get the credit-if you feel like giving out your real name-or use a nom de plume?

Song: Sunrise, Sunset Lyrics


(Tevye)
Is this the little girl I carried?
Is this the little boy at play?

(Golde)
I don't remember growing older
When did they?

(Tevye)
When did she get to be a beauty?
When did he get to be so tall?

(Golde)
Wasn't it yesterday
When they were small?

(Men)
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as we gaze

(Women)
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears

(Tevye)
What words of wisdom can I give them?
How can I help to ease their way?

(Tevye)
Now they must learn from one another
Day by day

(Perchik)
They look so natural together

(Hodel)
Just like two newlyweds should be

(Perchik & Hodel)
Is there a canopy in store for me?

(All)
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as we gaze

Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears
