These three boys grew up together. They shared birthday parties, trick or treat loot, and spent hours playing cars, trains, and eventually Star Wars.All the while, I stood with their moms, my neighbors and good friends, and planned for the big day when all three would board the bus for kindergarten together.
That day was today.
Of course Jack was not on the bus with his friends, he was helping me clean out the garage of our new home and watching me wipe the tears that kept sneaking out and wetting my cheeks.
I knew that today would be a day full of tears, but I didn't think they would be lonely ones.
This is my Wordful, Wordless and Way-back wednesday post! Please excuse my teary post after an emotional day.

Awwwwww, Vanessa. So feel your tears. Hang in there, Mama.
Love your Way Back When-esday post...thank you so much for playing along!
I love the way that you said your tears were "sneaking out"- I could absolutely relate to that description. I'm one of those sappy moms.
That was such a sweet post. I still choke up when I think back to when we were brand-new to Columbus. There is nothing like a first-ever best friend.
Awww. You made me cry. I feel like the day one of my close friends got on the plane that was taking her to live in a different state. I had hoped that she'd be around to see my kids grow up. Or rather I had hoped that my children would get to grow up knowing her.
I'm sorry Jack didn't get to go to Kindergarten with his friends. I'm sorry you didn't get to wave goodbye with yours.
