I am sure if you have ever sent one of your children off to school you have felt similar feelings as to how I feel at this very moment. It's hit me and will probably hit me harder tomorrow.
Why does sending my first born off to the land of the unknown seem so scary to me? I sent him to preschool so I guess that helps a little in the separation department. But This is all new to not only him but to me too. It brings up so many thoughts and fears in my head.
1. Will he be excepted? Will he make friends?
2. Will they tease him? Will he get his feelings hurt.
3. What if he sneezes and snot goes all over his face? Will he forever be the booger boy no one wants to sit by? (I hope I remember to give him his allergy medicine.)
4. Why does this scare me so bad? I'm worse than he is.
5. Will he remember to Choose the Right?

Part of me wants to keep him safe under my wing and never let him out. I am scared of what is out there. This is the start the rest of his school career for the next 18+ years. There's no looking back. Vacations, appointments, and life will revolve around a school schedule. Homework, grades, teachers, and friends.
My mind is very heavy. I guess all I can do is pop some Advil PM and pray very hard that He remembers who he is and loves it. I know he's a good boy. He loves to learn and will do his very best at everything he does. I just have to have FAITH.
