I am officially 110 years old.
My aunt and I took my cousin to her first day of college, it was so exciting thinking back to my first day, and all the anticipation combined with out right fear.
But it was also bittersweetly enlightening to watch my aunt as her youngest child said "I'm all set, you guys can go if you want to".
We managed to get out of there with no tears but when we got to my house my aunt dove in to giving Bellerina a bath and very calmly said "This was her yesterday, you have no idea how fast it goes".
Everyone says that to you all the time after you have a baby, but once in a while it really strikes you how important it is to heed their advice and enjoy every second.
Watching my aunt go from leaving her youngest in a dorm room to giving Bellerina a bath was one of those moments when it really sunk in.
