First Week of School

Last night was back to school night at Evey's school. That meant that we went to back to school night, listened to the information given and met with Evey's teacher for questions. Only Evey's teacher. We should in reality be meeting with Evey and Bryanna's teacher. We should be running from one side of the school to the other to make sure we meet both meetings. But we are not.

Last week we met with Evey's teacher. We always set up a meet and greet before school starts to help ease the transition, the stress and the nerves that come with the start of school. We started that when Bryanna was in First Grade. This year we only met Evey's second grade teacher. Bryanna did not have a 5th grade Teacher. We do not get to hear all about middle school transition and the last year of elementary school.

This Tuesday was the first day of 2nd grade for Evey.

Two years ago, we took a picture of Evey and Bryanna on their first day (Evey was in Kindergarten and Bryanna in Third Grade). It was a day of excitement and nerves and lots of stories after school.

Bryanna loving her new boots and posing with Evey and Liam on the way to school. Out of respect for Evey and Liam, I have covered their faces to protect their identity.

Bryanna First day of 2nd Grade

Bryanna and Evey first day of school 2 years ago (Evey was in Kindergarten and Bryanna was in 3rd grade)

Last year, I took Evey to her first day of school, met her class in the cafeteria, gave her lots of love and then rushed to the hospital to be with Bryanna. I still remember her face when I walked in her room...

This year, I took Evey to her first day, met with her class in the cafeteria, gave her lots of love and then went to the cemetery to sit with Bryanna's angel puppy, at Bryanna's grave site.

Please don't ever take your child, your husband, your wife or anyone in your family for granted.

I wish this on no one. Cancer sucks.
