Final Words

It finally happened.

It had to happen, I already knew it since the first day but I didn't want to accept it, to face the truth. I wanted to pretend it will last forever but eventually everything must come to an end.

I thought I was prepared, I had study for years, just for this moment, but when the time finally came I wasn't prepared at all. I almost feel like singing a song about it but I had never been the musical type.

I feel like I should fight back the tears, being the oldest one in the room but just once, just this one time, I want to be the little child and just cry.

I remember being a little foal, watching a bird´s nest, the mother watching her children finally spread their wings and rise up to the sky. My grandma told me that all mothers must do that eventually but a silly part of me made the promise to never open that door, to never let them fly.

How could I be so selfish? How could I think such a thing, now that I see them all, all grown up and ready to face the world in their own, all smiling at me, all my little ponies.

This is our last day together, their graduation day.

I read the banner one more time, their final words to me.

WE LOVE YOU MRS. CHEERILEE!!!
