I could picture the halls of that school, the smells of the building and the flutter in my stomach when school was about to end.

And that feeling never leaves us, even though it's been 12 years since I started a school year. I still feel it. My son starts in September and I nervous and excited all at the same time. Thanks for this post, really, really enjoyed it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15391395251067357.post-25991733751702636902010-06-16T22:20:31.221-04:002010-06-16T22:20:31.221-04:00Beautiful post and lovely words to describe this e...Beautiful post and lovely words to describe this end of year and for us parents end of an ear time.One Photohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05793386254564806126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15391395251067357.post-23655364021972327782010-06-16T21:15:15.367-04:002010-06-16T21:15:15.367-04:00Amen!

I could almost hear them saying, "I thought they'd never leave," while heaving a sigh of relief and trying to commit the footsteps and hum to memory. As if they could sense the impending, inevitable solemn quiet and darkened days. And were already yearning for the freshness of fall. I know how they feel."MaFerronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06187775010156225832noreply@blogger.com
