Right before school starts

Kimi starts with a news chool this year.  She isn't very excited about it but she has trusted us to move her studies.  Her acceptance of something this big for her and her unwavering trust at our judgement on her behalf simply boggles me.  It's a amazing to see that when I have found it hard to simply place my trust on anyone.

And she has grown!  Almost five feet now.  I'm expecting her to grow taller than me.  She saw my wedding shoes the other day and she said she would love to have it someday.  I said she might be able to wear it on her gradeschool graduation -- yes, that soon.  And she is starting to have breasts...

Oh dear, she is getting into that scary part for parents!  Right now, she is still innocent and trusting.  On one hand, I am scared about what the world will do to her.  On the other hand, I want her to learn her lessons.  I good bargain is for her to learn her lessons in the not-so-hard way.  Oh, if only it were possible to rig her life to be like that...

In any case, the scary part hasn't really come yet.  Her exposure to the bad elements have been filtered thus far by her parents and school.  I hope the new school will be good to her.  I hope she blossoms in this new environment. 

I hope.  I pray, just as I've always prayed since I found out I was pregnant with her -- Dear God, please don't let me screw up her life.

Oh well... so life goes on.
