"Mom, would it make you happy if I just stayed home with you forever?
...Because I can do that..." -Van
Of all the emotions I am feeling on Van's first day of school, I am mostly filled with pride. I am SO proud God chose me to be Van's mommy. I wish I could keep him and nurture him and let his spirit nurture me forever but I know he is ready to share his gifts and talents with his teachers and buddies. I pray that this year he learns, plays, and adjusts to his new school as easily as possible. We had a successful tear-free drop off, I told Evans "I am doing okay!!" ...took two steps...then burst into tears. Van is a wonderful role model for Jeanie and Abe. Such a special day, Van... I love you!!
