Today is officially the last day of summer for my final child.
Tomorrow, my baby, will be in 7th grade...
Yikes....
Even though this summer hardly brought us slow days, I will miss days minus homework, special projects, and morning drama...I will miss having all my children home, my dinner table filled with all the people I love most in the world and all my children's unmade beds...
My firstborn will leave in a few days for his sophomore year...
My heart aches already thinking about our home without him in it...
without walking by him in the hallway, having him come in our room to tell us he is home, finding his guitar picks in my dryer and the house filled with the sounds of him.......He is our musician, but he also fills our home and our hearts with song without a single musical note......
He alone is our music.....
He is our song....
As we begin to immerse ourselves back into academia, i pray for hearts for knowledge....
I pray that we continue to find a successful balance between studies, family and faith......
I pray that we continue to strive for excellence, always, and never to forget, in the midst of the difficulties we WILL have creating that balance, that we are loved....
That there is a higher purpose for the stewardship of these gifts we juggle....
That we are called to use these gifts for the highest purpose....
Happy New School Year!!!!!
