sappy post

after a brief goodby hug and kiss my big kid only looked over his shoulder for me once as he shuffled into the first day of first grade in a mass of uniformed kids.

my heart is breaking, said maya burrowing into my shoulder.
why?
because my brother is so far away.

i feel it too. tomorrow is back to our fixed schedules of schools and work and being so far away from each other. hopefully there is enough summer in our hearts to get us through.

sorry for this sappy post. but my kids are growing up at too many miles per hour.
