Letting Go

(How is your day going, Bella?)
"OMGOSH, Grammy, it's GREAT! I have friends! I have TWO new friends!"
I think Bella grinned and giggled more then I have ever heard her do! Burkley and Hollis moving in across the street could not have happened at a more important time!


I can remember the day the boys started their first day of Kindergarten. I can remember that day like it was yesterday! I remember their smiles and how excited they were! And I remember wanting to keep the boys with me and never letting go. I remember the feeling knowing this was the first true step towards them growing up and eventually away.  And I can honestly (and with all my heart) say that next Thursday morning my heart will be hurting for Jess and Bryan. (And my heart will be hurting just a little for me, too!)  Bella starting school has been something we have worried about for five years. FIVE YEARS!!! Where have those years gone??? She is so excited about school and having Burkley (her new friend) in her class. She is ready....and we will celebrate with her...and it will all be good. (and yes...I will cry a few Grammy tears quietly at home).


School is going to be another new adventure for The Precious, but one she will take with us more on the sideline. She will learn so many new things at school. But she will have the BIGGEST fan club cheering her on from the sideline. I told her yesterday that she filled my heart up with so much love and she smiled that big smile and gave a thumbs up.

Love you so much, Isabella Rae Jordan!! You will ROCK kindergarten and you will blossom!!
