Today was the first day of school for my little buddies.
My boys were up, showered and fed in impeccable time and also about 15 minutes early to school.
As I drove Markus to school I began crying. This is kind of a big deal for me--Max in high school?! It's hard to believe it is Markus' last year in elementary school. I was happy and sad and everything in between. But I made sure he knew that this was a very happy event for him. As I drove him closer to the front door I gave him a little kiss on the cheek. And he gave me a big hug in return.

I deeply know that Markus is a leader among his peers. He understands that there is always someone who is suffering,
someone who struggles, someone who needs a friend and he is that friend. He is aware of others needs, and he looks out for the boys who need help or support, or just a simple smile.
Max is a genuine, happy, kind, sensitive, confident and warm boy. He usually has been and because of those wonderful traits, he will likely succeed at all he does.
