Summer vacation has melted away.
This evening we were busy setting out school clothes and stuffing food into lunchboxes.
Tomorrow morning will be an early one. First grade begins.
My little schoolboy said, "Mommy, I'm excited about first grade, but I'm afraid I'll get frustrated."
The professor quoted Churchill to him, "Never, ever, ever, ever give up."
He was whispering those words to himself as I tucked him under the covers.
"Sing 'the Lord bless you and keep you' song," he said.
And so, I did...
The Lord bless you and keep you,
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And give you peace,
And give you peace,
And give you peace forever.
