My son, a senior in high school, rose before I did.

He was excited to start his day off with a senior breakfast at the maple museum.

Posted a kindergarten picture versus his senior picture.

I did not even shed a tear today.

The memories are strong.

My Dad and I enjoyed fishing on the river and eating a picnic lunch.

These times are also special.

Later, I enjoyed a hot shower because my body ached from my arthritis and changes in the weather.

Enjoying the quiet evening as I sip on my hot tea with turmeric, vanilla, and cinnamon.

I smile as I look at my dog sleeping on the floor. He is tired from our afternoon walk and dinner.

Tomorrow is my first day of returning to school.

I am excited.
