I Blinked...

I blinked, and this guy...

...got on the bus to go to Jr. High today.


True, he looks more like this now...

...but I didn't cry when I sent him off to pre-school for the first time at the ripe old age of 3. No tears when he went to Kindergarten. Dry eyes for 1st through 6th grades. But this morning? Saying the family prayer and pleading for God to watch over my son on his new adventure, I struggled to compose myself. I love this kid.
