Life was good today

Hi, I just wanted to share good news for a change. As many of you know, my twin ds6 could not attend kindergarten without me last year thanks to PANDAS. While the school was kind enough to allow me to stay with them in class every day, given the circumstances, it was as you all know a very difficult time in all our lives. I have worried all summer about what to do this school year. I decided to try school again knowing in my heart that if they could not make it, we would just homeschool as best we could.

 

I was up all night scared of what today would bring. I took them to school expaining, as I have for weeks now, that the plan was that I was going to walk them to class, kiss them goodby and they would push me out the door.

 

When the bell rang and they smiled and told me to turn aound I could not believe that I felt 4 little hands on me actually pushing me out the door. Both my ds6 began first grade today. When I picked them up they could not stop talking about how much they love school!

 

Today I just cried like all the other mothers. bitter sweet tears just becasue they are growing up so fast. It's a heck of a lot different than all the tears I have shed the past 1 year +.

 

Thank you all for the support. I don't think I could have survived this so far and so well without all of you.

 

Best,

Kari

Wonderful! I'm so happy for you.

My daughter starts first grade next week and I've been worried sick just like you, so this nice story couldn't have come at a better time.
