It may seem as if I am a professional events person, but it's just that I have such an explosive personality, people love having me at their events. Now that I have run out of friends getting married or having babies, I get to start over, with friends of my daughters. This last Saturday I attended a baby shower for Bridget, a friend of my daughter's since pre-school.
It was so much fun seeing everyone again, and reassuring that the mothers and daughters all aged gracefully, considering the melodrama we went through for all those years. It was one long dance recital, starting with the duck dance and ending with West Side Story. We mothers supported each other while the girls committed all sorts of emotional misdemeanors, as they made the transition from adorable toddler ballerinas to hormonal overdrive teenagers. It was a long adventurous road, but in the end it was worth it. I only hope they have as much joy and excitement with their children, as we did with them.
