First Day

This was written on 9/3 when Korben started school.  I am just getting around to posting it now.

Korben,

You started preschool today.  I  didn't weep and cry but I could have and almost did.  You will be going 3 days a week from 9-1pm.  You see, you are my first and this is all new to me.  You and I, we need the break from one another and I think that it is ok to say that.  We are a lot alike and that makes our relationship tense at times.  When 1pm comes I am excited to hear about your day of play and adventures and you seem curious about mine… I think you are just checking with me to make sure you didn't miss out on anything important.  I am so excited for you and scared for you.  I'm scared to let you go into this world where there is so much that can negatively infect your spirit. But we can do this.  Both of us because we have a God that will never leave us or forsake us. 

Praying for you always.

I love you.
