A letter on the first day of kindergarten

Lisa Belkin at Motherlode today published a letter from a mother to her son, marking the occasion of his starting kindergarten.

I read it with tears streaming down my face. And then I remembered that on precisely the same occasion last year I wrote a letter to Grace. Rereading that made me cry even more.

That day feels like yesterday, and in two weeks I will send both of them off together to the Morse Building, Grace to first grade and Whit to Beginners.

Another year gone by, both endless and so fast my head spins.
