I have noticed that all of my friends on facebook are excited to be sending their kids back to school. They talk about how hard the summer is, how tired they are, and how they cannot wait for the first day of school.
A friend of mine lost her 2 year old to cancer earlier this year and it changed my whole life. My babies are not quite school age yet, but I will be so sad when they go off to school. I would love nothing more than to be a stay at home mom and spend every day with Tink and Belle. I love them, so much that it hurts sometimes. I feel like someone needs to tell parents to quit bitching about taking care of their kids. To think about couples, who try and try to get pregnant without success. About mothers that have carried babies knowing that it puts their own life in jeopardy. About Parents who have fought with everything they had to keep their children alive; only to lose the battle anyway.
Today's lesson is, basically, be thrilled that your children are healthy enough to go to school. Kiss them, hug them, miss them, love them. There are moms and dads out there that will never walk their little ones to a first day of kindergarten.
