BITTERSWEET


This morning I got the boys up, dressed, made their lunches in their new matching Star Wars lunch boxes, and brought them to their first day of the summer fun program at Sunny Hill.

Lucas was thrilled to be able to go to school over the summer with Anthony. Thrilled to show him the ropes. Where the bathroom is, where they eat lunch, where the playground is, and most importantly, he wanted to introduce his little brother to his pre-school buddies. Lucas was feeling very important and needed today as big brother, and it was so great to see.

For Anthony, this was an exciting day, full of new friends, and new experiences. It was his very first day of school, and for me, it was bittersweet. So happy to see him growing up, and becoming an independent little boy, but so sad to see him not needing me as much.

So very bittersweet.

Ahhh, it just tears your heart up, but makes it swell at the same time. Bittersweet is the best way to say it.
