As we draw towards the end of summer. I look back and wonder where it went. It was a great summer. I got to spend most of my days with my favorite kid. He’s growing up fast. I want to wrap my arms around him to stop him growing up. He’s off to middle school on Tuesday. New adventures for him. Yesterday he told me he loved me and that he loved spending time with me. I told him that I’m so proud of him for doing things that were hard. I’ve never seen him joke about things. I was making him lunch and he told me that he was never eating lunch again. I told him he needed to eat lunch to get energy. He told me he’s never eating again. Then he started to laugh and said that it was a joke and it was funny. I laughed and realized that he just doesn’t miss a beat. I’m so blessed that I get to watch him grow up. I love that kid.
I got to hang out with friends and family this summer. My aunt came from France and got to catch up with her. I got to go up island with two of my good friends and do our annual trip to Parksville and Coombs. It was good to catch up.
Then I got to go up to Qualicum Beach for a couple of nights with another couple of friends. I realized that we stayed in the same place that my best friend who passed away. Wendy and I stayed there in a different suite when we went to a rabbit show. That was a cool memory. I learned more about patience when we worked on Lego flowers. That’s not for the faint of heart. It looks amazing now it’s done.
It was nice to eat good food and hang out and laugh and play games. It was our time before school starts. I want to hold on to the last of summer but slowly it’s slipping away.
You know you were busy this summer when it zipped by. School starts next week. God always puts just the right children into my class. So it will be interesting to see who comes this year. I’m looking forward to getting back I’m working with the same teacher as the end of last year. I look forward to meeting our new kids and seeing all the old faces. ❤️
