The Bucket List

I watched the movie "The Bucket List" tonight and all I can say is wow! It is one of those movies that ends sad but perfectly. The part that got me was when he was able to cross of the "kiss the most beautiful girl in the world." If you have seen the movie, you know what part I am talking about. While the moment is touching in itself, I am also sure I am affected by the fact that Hailee is not here right now.

She is staying the week with Gigi and Papa. While I love that she can go there and completely feel comfortable with her being there, she is getting too big. That moment of realizing tonight that she is going to bed and did not call us to say goodnight is heartbreaking. I am having a hard time letting her grow up. I want her to be happy and to see her turn into this wonderful little girl. But I am struggling as her mom to let her move away from being my "little girl."
Ugh. I am a sappy mommy and I cannot help it.

I miss the cuddles. She still likes to cuddle but it is different now. It is more about liking to cuddle than to need her mommy. I think that makes sense. That is enough for now cause I do not want to get all weepy- lol.
