Jeremy's first day of school today, and it was every bit as difficult as I feared it would be. As long as we were sitting on the curb waiting for the bus to come I held it together, but the second my little boy pulled away from one last hug, I started to lose it. I have successfully hid all my anxiety from him, but I know as he was sitting on the bus and watching me out the window, he was confused about my tears. I tried to smile and wave several times to reassure him, but I'm sure he'll have questions when he gets home this afternoon. I kid myself that if Ammon were here I would have handled it better--the only difference would have been my ability to fall into his arms in tears instead of taking myself into the lonely house to cry alone. I miss him.
