First Day of School

"Life is not about how many breathes you take but the moments that take your breathe away!" I have heard this lyric sung in a song and the morning I walked Zeke down the hall to his class it was a moment that took my breathe away. Zeke started 4K today at Chesnee Elementary School. The morning was sweet and calmly stressful (if that is possible). We got dressed and Zeke rode to school with his daddy. First, we went into my classroom so I could put my things down and then it was time! Zeke put his bookbag on and like such a big boy walked down the hallway. As we were walking down the hallway I could not help but think of the moments I have had as his mother. When I first held him, when he said, "Mama", when he first told me he loved me, when we walked side by side holding hands, when we played hide and seek, and many more moments. Where had the time gone? I was so proud of him for being able to attend school and for the fact that the Lord allowed me to experience and share this moment with my child. This child, gift God gave me. I had to leave in a classroom where I could not longer control the events that took place. All I could do was let him walk in the room and allow God's hand to protect. Zeke LOVES school! He walked right into his classroom and said, "BYe Mama and Daddy!" and that was it! Heather picked him up his first day and he was all smiles! I am so glad he loves it and has such a special teacher who cares for him. I think he is the cutest in his class. I am proud of him for doing so well and being so brave. Zeke, Mama loves you!
