卒業式

I have three young children.

Time flies!

My child is/children are growing up so fast.

It feels like she started daycare(UK)/nursery school(US) just yesterday.

My youngest child graduated from elementary school last week.

It's an emotional day for us as we celebrate my child's graduation.

I'm so proud of my child for completing elementary school.

It's a significant milestone for us.  

Watching the graduation, it feels like I'm reliving my own school days.

Cherry blossoms complement the occasion perfectly.
