can someone explain to me why they had to play this song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmoE8_U-JTw) at maddie's 5th grade graduation last week in sync with a slideshow from the school year.

i sobbed like a little babe with a poo diaper.

all of my maddies life from birth til now flashed in front of my eyes. it was a very painful day for the lizzy (and for my maddiekins). afterwards, she promised she will never be too old to sit in my lap and cuddle me. :crying:

Awwww-A day of mixed emotions I'm sure!

The kids all attended a very small preschool, and she has a little "graduation" at the end for her 8 kids, every year. I was very lucky to be able to get all three of my kids in spaces at her school, and she pulls a stunt like this every year. Last year, I about died, so next week when Rae has hers (my baby), I'll be a wreck for sure. I'm trying to be prepared in advance, but there's just no way.

I think slideshow creators WANT to make you sob.
When I was teaching at a pre-k--8th grade private school, the 8th grade grad always featured a slideshow to Michael W Smith's 'Friends'...I wasn't one of the parents, and I knew it was coming, but it almost always got me teary-eyed.

*slapslap* Pull yourself together, woman! lol

just kidding. I know it was a tough moment for you and sweet lil Maddiecakes. ((hugs))

[CA Dreamer]

Oh, man, Llibby. I would have been crying too. (hugs).

That was me last week at Annika's pre-school graduation. :(

[lizzyfizzy]

dude. preschool. i wish it was preschool. ;) no, i hear you guys! its just hard to see our wee ones grow up, no matter what stage of life it is.

can you all imagine when maddie gets married? i'll die.

[Voodoo_Bryn]

omg, I can't stand it, I would've been a blubbery mess right next to ya. Maddie woulda died.

[meganmecrazy]

GOOD GOSH, I'm a sobbing mess just from reading about it and hearing the song.

[lizzyfizzy]

maddie was bawling too. she just can't believe she is growing up. she told me her biggest fear is that she will wake up one day be a teenager and will be too grown up to kiss and cuddle me. *runs off sobbing*

[Rae's World]

[lizzyfizzy]

i know. she's an angel!

No fear Liz. Amanda will be 15 next month and she still snuggles on my lap all day every day!
