First Day
First day of Senior Kindergarten, which proceeded with no trauma or drama, unlike last year’s. Except that I am missing my big girl terribly (never mind that now I have to spend the day making conversation with a baby), and sort of considering that someone as averse to change as I am probably should never have embarked on parenthood. I could have just avoided mirrors, and, well, windows, for that matter, and lived comfortably in a blissful bubble imagining that everything was ever the same. Instead of meeting each day with this marvellous piece of irrefutable evidence that life is going, going, going (but, happily, not yet gone). Anyway, onward. We were contemplating all the things she didn’t know how to do one year ago, and wondering what miracles this next year will bring.
This is a perfect reflection on time…(and Harriet looks glorious).
Theresa Kishkan, I was at UVic with you many many moons ago.
I just sent you a note, Monica…!
I received it! Isn’t it neat to meet after all these years, and in such an unlikely place.
No way! This is the most likely place on the internet!! 😉
