Today was my son's last day of school for the summer. When I spotted him in the hallway, I saw him hugging his teacher's gift to him, a hardcover collection of Dr. Seus. On the inside page, was her special message to him, and her signature. He would open the book, glance at the message, then close it shut, and hold it against his chest.
He looked solemn in a way and so grown up for the end of first grade. He seemed coltish, taller than most kids his age, and a little unsteady on those legs which seem to be growing faster than the rest of his body.
He has made it to end of grade one and in this year he has faced the death of a beloved pet, seen his first crush move to a different school and watch his best friend move away to another province.
I am amazed by the ability he has shown so far, to deal with the challenges and experiences that have come his way. I am blessed to know him.
