Here we go.

As quickly as it came it was over. Their high school graduations. It was a weird night for me because there were no tears. I think I'd thought enough about it that I was somewhat prepared but still I'm pretty emotional about my youngest siblings being done with their required education and living with our parents phase so tears were kind of a given. The next night my parents and some family friends threw a grad party for these two and for their twins. I was dreading the party too because I really don't care for forced social interactions. But again it was suprisingly weird how much fun I had. I think mostly because my whole family was there. This rarely happens. It was fun to have a break off party in the garage and then chat and hang out together. It's always a good time when my siblings are together with our inside jokes and similarities in humor.

I don't really know what comes next. I mean Hannah will go off to the dorms in August and Tanner will move in with his favorite older sister and go to CGCC but as for how all of our lives interact from this moment on, I'm not sure. For years I've tried so hard to be a supportive sister and attend every concert, every school recognition and things to that effect, I've helped raise funds (which naturally I'm good at if it involves buying sweets of any kind) I drove them places when they couldn't drive yet and let them drive with me even when they could if there was an open spot in my car on the way back from various events. I am completly selfish and wonder about how all of this will effect me. I love these kids so much. Of course babies of the family have a special place in an older sisters heart. Here's to the future! Once a wildcat, always a wildcat.
