Um Ya Ya

Here I am in Northfield at St. Olaf College.  I'm wearing a badge with my name and a black ribbon that labels me as PARENT.  How did this happen?  Where did the time go?  Wasn't it just a couple years ago that I sent her off to kindergarten in a red dress with puffy sleeves and a bow in the back?  Now she is graduating.  How did I get to be this old?  I must not have been paying attention to the passage of time all these years.
