<p>Our four-year-old starts school in September. Terrifying. </p>
<p>She’s starting high school. </p>
<p>He’s getting ready to leave home and go off to university.</p>
<p>I bought them each a pair of skates at Canadian Tire. And one of them has just been drafted by the North American Hockey League. </p>
<p>We have two players—my daughter and myself. But now I’m losing a player.</p>
<p>It’ll be tough letting her go.</p>
<p>It’ll be hard to watch her leave.</p>
<p>I’m sorry.</p>
<p>It’s just that... I’ll miss him so much when he’s not home.</p>
<p>She knows that I’ll miss her a lot.</p>
<p>Opening his bedroom door and realizing that he’s not there anymore.</p>
<p>She told us that she’s both excited and nervous. </p>
<p>He will benefit from it and he’ll be so excited.</p>
<p>Actually, he’s not going that far—it’s mostly the fact that I won’t see him every day. </p>
<p>I think he will probably… he will miss me—I think he’ll still miss me. </p>
<p>I’m sure I’ll cry on the first day.</p>
<p>That little girl with her backpack hanging down to her knees, climbing onto the school bus. That’s how their future begins—by going to school.</p>
<p>I hope I’ve prepared him enough and he can get through the next chapters himself. </p>
<p>We’ll lose him for two or three years.</p>
<p>Cole, on your first day at school, I want you to know that your mom and I love you very much.</p>
<p>Make the most of this opportunity and have fun.</p>
<p>To fresh starts. Very cool. </p>
<p>We asked parents what they felt about their kids starting school. </p>
<p>To fresh starts.</p>
