Pride

A day of Firsts.

It was the first time we had all stayed over in Glasgow together
the first time we saw the purple robe
the first time we smiled together with eyes wide and jaws hurting
the first time my girl has worn heels and bare legs EVER.

It was the first time I can remember where she was happy to be proud
the first time she wanted to share her pride with the world
the first time she couldn't help but smile all day long
and the last time she will walk through these cloisters but then again, you never know

I think it is the first time I realised that I have lost my girl forever but today I couldn't care, she radiated pride and delight and I could only love her as a mother does and celebrate with her
Such talent, such beauty, such confidence,
We did it!
