I’m celebrating O’s first day…
Ok, more like trying to quell the melancholy.
Ok it wasn’t that bad. She did great! No tears. I welled up a bit when I hugged her goodbye. Then I went out to the car and watched her a little from there. She asked for her lunchbox and helped herself to some yogurt.
Then I made the mistake of taking a look at the portfolio her old school made for us that they gave me this morning when  I dropped off M. It’s filled with her art and pictures of her time there.
Heart breaking and mending all at the same time.
In it there is a letter from the school. The last line is lingering still “thank you for sharing your child with us.”
Oh man.
I know. She’s pretty awesome. I’m glad we shared her with them too.
Now back to my almond croissant and coffee. And perhaps a few more tears.
