Slipping through My Fingers, a reba fanfic

A.N. Written in Reba's point of view when Kyra decides that she wants to move in with Brock and Barbara Jean. Based on the song Slipping through my fingers from Mamma Mia! I hope ya like it.

My daughter is going to leave me. Wow. I can't believe it. I figured Cheyenne would be the first to move out, but I guess its Kyra. My little firecracker is moving out. This reminds me of her first day of school that I didn't drive her to...

(Flash Back)

"Honey are you ready to go?" I screamed upstairs trying to get my daughter to hurry because she was going to miss the bus.

"Yeah mommy," said Kyra running down the stairs, "Bye mom," she yells running out the door.

"Bye, I love you." I say but I know that she didn't hear me.

She left. And this feeling of over-whelming sadness washes over me. I feel like I'm losing her. She is my little angel, my baby girl. I wish I could be there with her. Helping her all day long. Telling her that I love her every step of the way.

Schoolbag in hand
She leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye
With an absent-minded smile
I watch her go
With a surge of that well-known sadness
And I have to sit down for a while
The feeling that I'm loosing her forever
And without really entering her world
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
That funny little girl

She's slipping through my fingers. I'm trying to catch her, and keep her from falling, but I just can't anymore. She needs to grow up, and learn to live without her mommy. I really want to know whats going on inside her mind. But then she grows some more. I realize that I'll never know. Slipping through my fingers all the time...

(End Flashback)

Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see what's in her mind
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time

As I realize that she is really leaving me, and moving out. I think back to all the times we sat at the breakfast table together. Not talking just focusing on our food, trying to fully wake up before we had to leave for school and work in my case. I let all that precious time go by that I was with her. Now she's leaving, and all i feel is guilt! I can't deny it. I wanted to take her everywhere with me. We haven't done anything yet, and why I don't know.

Sleep in our eyes
Her and me at the breakfast table
Barely awake
I let precious time go by
Then when she's gone
There's that odd melancholy feeling
And a sense of guilt
I can't deny
What happened to the wonderful adventures
The places I had planned for us to go
Well some of that we did
But most we didn't
And why I just don't know

The feeling that she is slipping through my fingers is undeniable. I think I know, but I really don't because she is way to mature for her age.

I wish I could just freeze time, and save all our moments together.

Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
And save it from the funny tricks of time Slipping through my fingers -

Schoolbag in hand she leaves home, but not with a smile on her face fore she knows that he father is behind her carrying one of boxes of stuff from her room. She knows that this breaking my heart.

Schoolbag in hand
She leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile

A.N. I hope y'all liked it. Its really short, but I love this song!!
