First Day in Traditional School

So who wants to see 13 y.o. Tahnee in a school uniform? This was during her first day of school. She was dressed at 5:45am. Talk about excited.

A few nights ago I was in tears. Similar to those I shed with dad when I was about to get married. I would miss her. 9 yrs of homeschooling her can be habit forming. I was anticipating the change in "homescape" not having Ate Tahnee around.

As I observed other parents bringing their clinging pre-school kids, some even crying, I laughed inside bec in my case, it was the other way around. I was a reluctant parent not sure about letting her child go. But as I watched Tahnee confidently join her section mates, and completely forget about me (Oh, she did turn back, smile, wave and say, "Bye, Mom!") , I knew she was ready and that she would be alright. So would I.

"Thank you, Lord for your Faithfulness. Thank you for loving her more than we ever can. Thank you for the support of family, our silent partners, and the prayers that have kept us intact through the years. "
