Jarrett and I have been on the count down for the last month or so anticipating today. Not sure what today had in store for us. Today is the first day of school. I am beyond grateful to the teachers and administration at her school who have been beyond amazing from the application process, interviews, home visits and everything they have done to ensure a successful first day.
So beyond the congratulatory and well wish messages we have received, the common question has been "How are the parents holding up?" or "Did you all cry?" I was so proud of our big girl and all that we have taught her including, being kind, strong and just a good human really showed today. She consoled a crying toddler and was in a place of happiness. The tears fell as I walked in the hall not that I would be leaving her but I began feeling the joy and gratefulness of knowing We Did THIS! We prayed for this!!! We anticipated this!! I left knowing that my daughter is not only covered by God but she would be a caring shining light.
EVERYTHING we taught her shined through this morning and it left no room for me to doubt all that God has in store for her today.
Happy First Day to you Baby Girl!
Mom and Daddy Love you to life!
