Aidan's preschool graduation

I can't believe we are already at the end of the school year. At moments it seems right, while other times I am stunned, breathless. How did we get here? How did our oldest get to be 5 years old? How is it he is graduating from preschool, closing that door to that chapter of his life?

I am awed by the brevity of life.

So this will be hard and joyful all at the same time. Saying goodbye to teacher Lynn will be difficult. She has held my hand as well as Aidan's, helping me let go those first few days, almost two years ago. She has helped him grow and learn. She has shared in the joy of seeing him change. What a precious link she has been in our lives.

Congratulations, Aidan! Today is your day.
