Unlike Meg Ryan's character in "You've Got Mail", I don't particularly like the Fall. Yeah, the leaves changing color are beautiful, especially here in New England and yes, I like to pull out the sweaters and put away the AC, but it is also is the signal of a new school year. Now, don't get me wrong...I love my job as a teacher, but let's face it, I love summer vacation. I also love having my children home with me.
Fall is especially hard when you have a college student. And yesterday, I once again sent my oldest out into the cold cruel world. This time instead of putting her on a plane, I watched her drive away on her 2,300 mile journey across the United States. It feels like just yesterday that I put her on the bus for her first day of kindergarten.
I miss her already.
Wow! How hard is that?! With Hailey starting kindergarten on Thursday, I can't even imagine how I will be feeling when she is off to college. Thanks for reminding me to cherish these times.
