Graduate

Brent is done with school! It's a little bit surreal. Tonight he would normally have class what are our plans? A brisk walk to get ready for our Warrior Dash. This weekend no homework. The same thing for the next night and week and month. It is a pretty fantastic feeling. His cap and gown were delivered the other day. Brent has rented most of his books for school which means they are delivered. I have often picked a book up for a new class off our front stoop. It was so nice to pick up a package, the last package, which contained the cap and gown. His graduation ceremony is the middle of May.

She watches her family as they realize she is missing, search for her, long for her, hold onto hope, find her remains, and then cope with loosing a child and the realization that she is gone. This is the first time since becoming a mother that I have watched that type of movie. It made my heart ache. I know what evil things are out there. I watch Oprah episodes about child preditors and even at his young age I think of how to protect him. Yet I also know there is only so much I can do to protect my child. Which made me worry, what if I can't protect him. What if
something horrible happens to him. I went straight into his room and soaked up his innocence. I prayed a ferv

RE:

refused to stay in his high chair. He just wanted to sit on his Daddy's lap. It was sweet and heart breaking all at the same time. So Brent and Croix ate dinner together. I had made plans to go to a friends house right after dinner. We all left the house at the same time. Croix did seem a little confused when he realized Brent was not in the car with us, but at least there was no inconsolable crying this week. Perhaps I'll make a habit of having somewhere to go Monday nights. It seemed to make Brent having class a little easier on Croix.
