Where Are You Going My Little One, Little One . . .


Elizabeth Hellmann Varga and Loved Ones - Click to Enlarge
I guess you have to be of a "certain age" to remember the Kodak commercial with the song that asks, "Where are you going?"  It is called "Turn Around" and it comes to me as I think of the life I've shared with my daughter, whose birthday was yesterday. If you decide to click on the link, stay until the end for a memory of the kinds of camera, flash, and film we used to think were so "cutting edge."



So what can I say -- I'm a proud mother of one.  My husband likes to say that we are "joined at the hip" and I guess we are.  Liz is probably my greatest blessing.  We've done it together from the beginning.  I'm feeling all sentimental when I look at the old pictures of her.  I could write about her forever, but I'm afraid it would just get all mushy.

So I think I'll stop here -- for now.  She knows how much I love her and how proud I am of her as a wife and mother.  Happy birthday, Liz, a day late.

    Sweet post...and I have to say...I understand. I feel the same way about my "kids"...even as young adults they still make us feel all mushy.

    Happy Birthday to your daughter! I feel the same way about each of my children. I can easily get emotional when it comes to them.
