Tuesday was Mia's first day at the preschool program run by our church. Sarah and I dropped her off together and took a few photos to commemorate the day. After our visit to the school last week, I knew Mia would do just fine, so I wasn't worried. Still, the day felt very significant to me. Our little girl was taking her first step out into the wider world without us. I thought ahead to the many times we will relive this scene. Next fall she will go to a different preschool a bit farther from home, then there will be kindergarten and primary school... and someday she will get married...
It was one of those times when I said to myself, "I really am someone's mother now." Who knew this dream could come true?
