My son started kindergarten yesterday and the sucker punch of nostalgia, personal trauma, beauty and joy was so genuinely overwhelming that I was moved to sit up all night and try to capture the feeling in three minutes and six seconds.
I’m not entirely sure how I did, but I needed it.
Thank you taking some time to sit with me while I process.
The part about the possibility of them not wanting to play with the kiddo pool next summer hits pretty hard. My youngest has just started kinder and it feels like in a the blink of an eye we went from having a baby and a toddler to now being parents of two school-ages kiddos. It is so tough how fast it really goes by.
Needed this thank you 🫂
