Time Marches On

It is hard to believe how even when things change so drastically in your life that time continues to march on. Tomorrow begins another school year. Dad will be starting his 30+ year of teaching and after so many years there aren't always a lot of changes but this year there is. This will be the first time that Mom won't send him off on his first day of school with a hug, a kiss and an I love you more. It will be the first year that won't start with her taking him lunch. Even last year as sick as she was some days we would get lunch to him (I know he ended the year with out it but it is still different). Rae will be starting her 11th year of teaching and coaching. This will be her first year of Mom not seeing any of her volleyball games, or calling her to check how things are going and her first birthday (Friday) without Mom. Tomorrow is the first day of 7th grade for TatorTot and 4th grade for MadCow. This will be their first year without a phone call from Memom on the first day of school to see how it was. I remember TatorTot's first day of school. . .Mom and Dad drove all the way to Georgia so they could go to school with him on his first day. They went to MadCow's first day also. Memom always tried to keep up with how they were doing in school. They made her so proud. Tomorrow will be the first day that B will have to send her kids to school knowing that Memom would be so proud of them and wishing that she could be there to go with them. I know that she will be watching them all and wishing them a great first day of school. And Aunt D too.
