My heavy heart...

My Autumn Beth is getting ready for lunch, at her new school. She is in Kindergarten. And she has done amazing. She asked me to let her walk herself in on the 3rd day! I cried, but she was so brave. As of yesterday, I am not even walking her to the front of the building. I am just driving her up, and she's out the door and on her own...in this big ol' world....well, maybe not that big just yet, but it sure feels like it to me.


My heart misses her so much. I am so sad that I am not there with her right now. I am so excited for her, but I get so excited at pick up time. However, she's exhausted at the end of the day and just wants to lay on the couch and watch tv, without her little brother. And that means upstairs, again, away from me. But at least she's home. But I am ready to cuddle and love on her.


Oh how I wish time had gone by slower. I wish she hadn't of grown up so fast. I wish I had a little more time to appreciate her and to play with her. I know she's only in Kindergarten and it's not boarding school or anything...my mind gets that...but my heart is struggling.


Just a couple more hours...
