First Day of Kindergarten

  Well, the time finally came. My little guy would have a major milestone in his life. Joel started kindergarten this fall. Where in the world did the time go? I think he was more ready to deal with it than I was. It was a true tough day for this mom. I had to hold back my tears until I knew he was on the bus headed to the school.
  To help me out, and keep me from going crazy all day; Joel's godmother was there to see him on the bus, and keep me company all day. I think we both had to fight back the tears. Even though as soon as the bus doors closed and he was riding away I cried. It still tears me up thinking about it. It was hard to let him go. Joel's godmother and I quickly got in the vehicle and drove over to the school. We missed seeing him get off the bus, but I got to see him stand in line (I had to make sure he got there safely, and plus I had to take things to the nurse for him). I teared up a little when we left him once again. I think I looked at my clock on my phone a hundred times through out the day. Each time I found myself starting to tear I would pray. 

   While Joel was at school his godmother and I went shopping, and had lunch together. It seemed so unreal that he wasn't with us. The two of us got back in time to see him get off the bus. I think I breathed a sigh of relief when I seen him get off that bus. We let him talk about his big day to us. The nice thing was when I put him into bed he said,"Mommy, I wanted to let you know I love you, and I missed you today." Awe! It melted my heart. I am looking forward to what the rest of the year well bring.
