aaaakk. the pain in my chest and throat was intense when tommy told me not walk him to his first class this morning. i threw in a few "are-you-sures" . . . you know. . . just in case. but he didn't budge. rod and i sat in the car for several minutes completely bewildered on what to do next. keep waiting, follow him, drive away or cry. rod drove away eventually and i fought tears. i wanted to cry justin timberlake a river, but i rationalized that if i didn't cry for kinder then i shouldn't cry for jr. high.
i do want to also point out that we were only a handful of parents who did NOT do the walk in. but we did see one mom reach for her son's hand and she was immediately (but discreetly) swatted away.
