There she goes

The baby is off to high school today. It brings extra trepidation for me. Not only is my *baby* in *high school* but she is 13 days away from the anniversary of her sister's death. Also, when she was a freshman in high school. 

The hits just keep on coming. 

The first year is the hardest. 

The second year is the saddest. 

Now, for your extra special pleasure, the third year is the year of firsts for us. 

The first completion of the first month of high school. The first child who turns 15. The first...  You get the picture. 

So, there she goes. Off to high school. Dragging my heart behind her.
