When I started kindergarten I lived in Arizona.
I loved it.
I loved the desert.
I loved the parks at night time.
I loved filling my papers with pictures of cacti and sand.
We moved halfway through the school year.
On my last day we sang a song about making new friends, and keeping the old.
One being silver, and one being gold.
I swung on the swing and kicked the dirt with my best friend Molly.
I remember feeling so sad and wondering
how a whole little world could go on without me in it.
-----------------------------
When we found out we were moving- I was excited, of course.
But sad too, because Robs would inevitably feel something similar.
Perhaps it's why I obsessed over documenting her first kindergarten.
...Her commute to school.
Her classmates, her teachers, her best little friends...
...and her last little goodbye.
I don't think she thought about crying... but I did.
I wanted to.
Change is so difficult.
Leaving people is so difficult.
It took me two years to finally like the place- and as soon as I did... we left.
Her whole class signed their names to a piece of paper with a
little "I love you" or a heart and a smiley face.
I'm going to keep it for always...
along with that little note from Isaac.
