To all the parents out there

[kathydwells]

who have sent there "Babies" off to high school this year. I can't believe that the day is here. It was with a heavy heart that I watched my son get in a car this morning to go to high school. It just made me realize that I probably only have about 4 more years with him at home. I am sure it will fly by. So, to rest of you that have done the same thing, or will this month, I will keep you in my thoughts. May they all be safe!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not actually a parent, but I have worked with high school kids for a long time. You have a great and terrible job for the next several years. My heart goes out to you--you don't have a little boy any more, but you have the rare and wonderful task of training a man.

God bless you on your journey!

Aww...how sweet. What a wonderful way to look at it. Never thought of it that way. Thank you for opening my eyes. I hope that I do, do a good job of raising a caring, loving man.

I bet you already have.;-) I'm a year behind you and don't like to think about my little girl already being in high school!

Hugs to you sweetie! It's hard, but was one of my favorite times as a parent. I loved the high school years. Just keep doing what you've been doing and it helps to sleep lightly.

Darlene, I'm 2 weeks behind you, friend. I'm mainly excited and just a little nervous.
I pray Jess was getting a ride from a mom!

Well, I like to think I have. ;-) Oh, man that 8th grade year flew by OL. She will be fine, as I am sure all of them will.

I know what you mean about sleeping lightly my friend. I have already started that. He went to the movies this weekend with an older friend who has his licsense already. I gave them a curfew, and I was watching that clock until I heard that car pull up in the driveway. I might add, they were home about 5 minutes before curfew.

There is a part of me that is very excited for him. I had the most funn in High School and still have some wonderful friends that I keep in touch with (and go to the beach with every year). I am a little nervous though. Actually, Percy, he rode to school today with a friend and his Senior brother. Only because the High School buses did not run today. He didn't want me to take him (you know, the coolness factor). Anyway, he will be riding the bus starting tomorrow. The high school that he goes to is about 15 miles from our house, on a 2 lane road that scares the bejesus out of me. So, I will feel better if he rides the bus!!!!! I will be thinking of you in a couple of weeks, and want to know how you are handling the situation. ;-)

Well said NoHall because everyones children are "our" kids really and no I have no doubt that Darlene will continue to do a grayt job.

and don't worry too much, because from what I see and hear they always come back home. even when you don't want them to.
