Taking Miah to class, today, was bittersweet. I wasn't sure if I was going to cry or dance, but as it turned out, things felt strangely normal and as they should be, so I just hung out with friends in the waiting area and enjoyed some good conversation.
I'm not going to lie. Little things are setting me off and making me teary as I work through the emotions involved in transition. Little things like thinking about leaving behind the tree Grace planted, an unexpected message here or there, taking a quick snapshot of Miah and her friends, thick as thieves as long as the snacks keep coming:
Miah, Owen, and Rocket
But it's all good - just a little bit of an emotional roller coaster to be so very happy and a little bit sad at the same time... If you happen to catch me in tears, you might stop to ask if they are happy tears of sad ones! A little of both are going to be present for awhile. Or you might just ignore me, because I really hate crying in front of people!
