the school bell rang

It's a new year with a new teacher and new class. The awful reminder that time is still moving and she is definitely still growing. She is in the safest, warmest, love-filled place outside of my heart and arms. So with that, I give her one last hug and kiss and remind her that Noni will be picking her up. I leave feeling weepy with a big lump in my throat.......trusting in what is and what we have.
