Yesterday was my daughter Millie’s year 11 prom. An American custom I grant you but a lovely one. Months of preparation went into the day but the young people did most of it themselves [other than footing the bill 
]. So once the dress, shoes, accessories, hair, nails, venue, and limosine were all in-hand we finally arrived at the special day. I felt like I’d aged about ten years overnight but I have to admit that even I was excited by the time the day came.
It was such a special day for Millie not least because her lovely Grampy Jim put aside the money for her dress before he died. He really wanted to see her in it but sadly that wasn’t to happen… Anyhow below are a few photo’s of the wonderful event….enjoy!!
Just after she had her hair done before she got dressed!!
This is Millie and her prom date, the lovely Ashwin.

So Grampy Jim, what do you think?? Doesn’t she look just wonderful in the dress you bought her?? Certainly brought a tear to my eye that’s for sure. I think she did you proud in that beautiful gown. We missed you yesterday, more than usual, but I have a feeling that you were there in spirit and that you were just as proud as punch of your lovely Granddaughter.
Dearest Sharon,
Yes, Millie looked quite lovely! The dress color and her hairstyle were perfect. I bet you were quite a proud mom.
I’m sure your Jim was there, leaning over Millie’s shoulder.
Best to all.
Love, Gail
Aww thank you Gail ~ yes, I was really proud, a day to remember for all of us. xx
Dear Sharon, Millie looked beautiful, I hope she had a lovely night. I’m sure Jim would have been as proud of her as you are. Love, Sr Judith
Dear Sr Judith

Gorgeous dress! I love jewel-like colours! She looked radiant, as is befitting girls on prom night. I am delighted she had a perfect time.
Thank you Barbara and welcome home by the way. I’m looking forward to reading all about it when you’ve recovered.
Much love
Sharon xx
