Tiger Years
It was early Friday morning. We had ventured out in the cold downpour to my last "Muffins with Mom" event at Tiger Elementary. Sitting with me were my 12 year old sixth grader and my 14 year old Tiger alumni.
At some point I realized that this was my last time to experience this. I was not sad, but I was wondering what my youngest son was thinking. . .
"Wow, can you believe you are about done with all of this?"
I won't record exactly what he said, but suffice it to say that he is done with elementary school.
My older son offered his two cents - he had been done with elementary school by that point in his sixth grade career also.
I smiled and noted to them that life is that way. When it is time for you to move on, you are ready for it. It is just the way the journey goes.
They will both be Irish next year. We are ready for it.
But I am sure there will be a few tears shed the last few weeks of our Tiger years.
