Middle School Eve

Tomorrow is the first day of school.

My son is leaving the safe and familiar environment of the elementary school he's attended since Kindergarten. It will be his first day of middle school. It will also be the first year for riding the school bus. I have no control over middle school bullies, new friends, or him remembering that he rides one bus to school and a different bus home in the afternoons.

My son is a good kid. I know he'll make the right decisions and I know he'll get on the right bus. I know everything will be okay!

But tonight....I am powerless.
