Sending Her Off to School

As I sit here, months after my daughter's first day of Kindergarten, the emotions still feel very fresh and raw. It felt like I was dropping her off in a foreign land that first day. I remember looking at other mothers for a sense of encouragement and reassurance that I was not the only one with such strong emotions. We all respond to this great transition in our own ways, and while I do share the feeling of "my baby is growing up," it is a deeper feeling that I felt that day and still hold today. It is the continual wondering if this is really the right path for our family.
