There it was, the last day of school for this school year.

Sam’s first in junior high with new school, new teachers, new classmates, new subjects and new ways of assessments. But, this change would’ve happened anyway, so when comparing it (with Fabian’s), without depreciate it, was a smaller change.

For Fabian the school start was big. It was huge, monumental and immeasurable all at once.  New town, new buildings, new classmates, new teachers, new ways. New, new, new. And for a person who doesn’t like change, it is almost unfathomable.

But they did it. With glory (their bias mother said).  With support from great kids (raised by great parents) great grown-ups who in different ways and parts of this community were involved (key word involved).

So, from a parent to a parent, from a grown-up to a grown-up. Thanks for helping out in making our kids settle in to a new community.
