Proudness

The Teenager received her acceptance letter for National Honor Society, today.

I don't have the words to adequately describe how proud I am of her.

Well, I do, but, the lump in my throat makes it impossible to vocalize without sounding like I'm crying, which, of course I'm not!

If I were crying, though, it would totally be because I keep picturing my baby on her first day of school, or, remembering how proud she was of the first 100% she got on a spelling test, or, recalling how excited she was when she was asked to be a Pirate Peer Mediator in the fifth grade.

And, now she has a brand-new accomplishment to add to her list.

I'm just....so proud, you know?

Of course you know.
