This morning was difficult for me. As I stood in my kitchen this morning making lunch for the first day of school I realized my oldest has officially grown up to be a young man and I feel like I missed it. All the scrapbooked pictures say I was there... but when did it happen?
He entered middle school today and I am a wreck. I tried to put on a brave face as I dropped him at the curb (no more walking him into the school and taking pictures of him at his desk)- No today was quite different. I watched his face as he left the car. He seemed excited and nervous, much more nervous. He seemed unsure of all the unknowns.
We are only a couple of blocks from school, but I stopped along the way to take in the moment. As I wiped away a few tears of nervous excitement for him, I realized he will be fine, I must have hope and faith in his ability to okay. It is so difficult being a mom who loves her children with such deep affection.
If you have children, take time to hug them, for soon will come the time when you too are dropping them off and waving.
