In Days Gone By:
3.September.2019
For those whose children went "back to school" this morning:
Some of you are exhausted.
Your summer was hectic and busy.
Your child's vacation a thing to work around...filling up all their moments by pouring every last drop out of your own cup.
Some of you are excited.
Your morning full of the same frantic fervor as your child's was.
New school supplies and new outfits and new teachers and new adventures!
Some of you are relieved.
The schedule resuming "normalcy" is like a siren call...you've been impatiently waiting it out all summer long, watching as your child floated, tetherless and unsecure.
Some of you are heartbroken and heart-filled.
The bus pulling away from the curb...a sign of more change, more growth, more time passing despite your best efforts to hold onto this child in this moment at this time.
To each of you...a hug...a high five...a smile that we alone can understand.
A wish, shared freely, that our children will all have a good "First Day" and that this schoolyear will challenge their intellects but not break their spirits.
