Yesterday was the first day of school for our grandkids. Better them than me. Here they are in front of the same door Anna had her picture taken for her first day of preschool. My how time flies!
It's hard to believe they will all three be in school all day this year. Kindergarten, first and third grades. At least they are all in the same school.
The weird thing is... while I can remember some things from earlier, third grade seems to be where my clearest memories began. That's when I started wearing eyeglasses, but I can also remember so much more about it.
Sometimes it makes me sad to think of kids growing up. There is so much they have to face today, and so much heartache they're going to have to experience. Yet, I guess that's how life works. While I wish I could protect them forever, and provide them with the safety and security of a drama-free life, I know I have to suck it up myself and simply hope and pray for the best.
So, that's what I will do. It's a new school year. I can only imagine the changes that will take place over the next nine months...
