From the Sidelines
infant smiles
all grown up
now charming someone else
first formal
picking the perfect tux
teenage transformation
chasing new dreams
tag & hide and go seek
a distant memory
leaving home
embracing a new town
an unfamiliar silence
“hi mom”
long distance now
loving you from the sidelines
