That Sucks

Well I was having a pretty good day until I woke up this morning.  Oldest boy had his first day of kindergarten.  His poor mom has been dreading this day all summer.  The bad part is she teaches at the school he is attending so I really didn't see the big deal, until this morning.  It sorta upset me also.  Little guy is growing up.  So I spent the rest of the day wondering how he was doing.  I was wondering is he fitting in.  I was wondering how his mom was handling it.  I was wondering if I was going to be turning around and he was going to be in high school with me.  I don't want them to grow up.  I like them the way they are now.  So I spend all day with these emotions.  So this evening little man wants to call his granny and papa and tell them about his first day.  After he talks to them I talk to my mom and dad gets off the phone.  After all the emotions I have been through today, she drops the bombshell that my dad's cancer is back.  Didn't feel like gaming tonight.  I am going to bed.  Tomorrow has got to be a little better.

Hey H2- My prayers are with your dad and your family as you try and support everyone through this. It's tough to be the rock sometimes. I am right there with you with our kids - we still have 2 that are not in kindergarten yet, but our oldest is in 2nd grade - it's hard to believe. Next year our middle child will be there, and then when our smallest goes that is definitely going to be a sad day. I feel like I can't take enough pictures right now, you know?

H2 I'm so sorry to hear about your Father. You and your family are in my thought and prayers. My best friend's Dad is battling cancer as well.

Hey, sorry to hear about your father, I wish the best for your family. As far as school starting and all, I was in that same boat 4 years ago when my oldest first went off to school. Now my youngest ( 3rd child) and most likely the last just turned four. I was looking at him this morning knowing that next year he too will be off to school. No more little rugrats crawling or toddling around. :( Is very very sad. You should make it an attempt to also pick your kid up from school once in awhile. A great feeling I had when doing that was just to watch these little guys running out of the school care-free, happy, playfull. Made me feel good, reminded me of myself.
