It’s nice to look back and reminisce on the past school activities of our kids. I love doing this by going through the photos that I have taken over the past years. But every time I do this, I’m also overwhelmed with mixed emotions of being sad, happy, nostalgic and a lot more. I feel absolutely happy looking at the photos and remembering the fun that they had in each of their school activities, but at the same time I also feel a tinge of sadness because the photos also show how they’ve grown up so fast, and most of the times, I miss their preschool years.
Time really flies so fast, and before we know it, our kids would be adults and would eventually lead their own lives and have their own families. It is hard enough to let go of them even when they are still in school, how much more when they start to become adults?
I still remember when Izah had her overnight camping in school. It was part of their Girl Scout activity after their Investiture Program when she was in first year high school. She was very excited because it was going to be her first overnight school activity. Weeks before the event, she was already talking about it and her group really worked hard in preparing all the camping equipment required by the school. But her Dad and I were apprehensive to give our permission for her to join the camp, especially when we received the letter from the school asking our confirmation that we were allowing our daughter to spend overnight in school. What we didn’t like about the letter was it came with a waiver that if ever any untoward incident happened during the camp, the school should not be blamed. We really complained about it and my husband went to the principal and asked her to remove that waiver from their confirmation letter. At first the principal didn’t agree, but eventually, 2 days before the camp, she sent out another letter without the waiver. As parents, and I’m also referring to all the parents out there, we only want to be absolutely sure that our kids are safe whenever they are outside the comforts of our homes.
Our kids are young only once and I hope that no mother would have any regret later in her life that she didn’t spend as much time with her child as she would have wished.
