This was completely unexpected, but I spent much of the day today crying. I guess I didn't really think about the fact that the first day of school was one of my mom's favorite days. She loved for the kids to come over after school and tell her about their day. We went by and saw dad and the kids all told him about their days....but it wasn't the same. I really missed my mom today. And I missed her love for my kids...and I missed her excitement over all they do at school. And I was sad for my kids (even though they didn't really realize what they were missing) that she wasn't there to ooh and ahh over all they're doing.
On top of that, I can't believe that my youngest has started middle school, my middle one has started high school, and my oldest is a junior in high school. In two years, he'll leave home to go to college. I only have 6 years left with kids in the house.....wow.
