How Can It Be?

    For the last seven years I have driven this boy to school everyday.  I remember the times we were running late, threatening to leave him at home, worrying he didn't eat enough breakfast, and all our early morning disagreements.  I so looked forward to the day he would head to FLMS and he would be riding to school with his Dad and I would no longer have to deal with all the morning drama (mainly between him and Ry).  However, now that the time has come for him to leave Steekee and move on to the next chapter of his life, I sit back and think of how I could possibly get that time back.  I'll take all the morning drama if i could just keep him little.  In saying that it's time for me as his Mom to let go and let God continue to work in his life.  He may not be riding to school with his Dad nor will he be attending FLMS like we had always planned, but the next chapter of Tucker's life must continue.  Obviously, none of this was in our plan, but satan had other plans and little did we know that God had been preparing us for this drastic life changing event since September and we didn't even know it. Tucker enrolled at Brown Intermediate School in Sweetwater today for the 2017-2018 school year and he is now officially a Wildcat!  Of course he is a little apprehensive about the change but it was 100% his decision. 
    In saying that, I want to personally thank every educator and administrator who has impacted Tucker's education and life in a positive way throughout his elementary school career. I couldn't have asked for anyone better to teach him, care for him, support and love him (especially this school year) these last seven years.  I dread seeing this chapter end but excited for the next one begin!
