Well it is now officially fall. Leaves have been turning colour, but as we all know the first sign of fall is children with backpacks. This year my own child has her backpack on. This is tragic! I can't believe my baby is going to school.
It has me thinking about influence. How am I to be an influence to her at school? How do I help her navigate the new things she is going to experience, the first bullies that she meets? Well I can't directly. I have now given up some of the parenting to others. A position I am not entirely happy with. I think some aspects of growing up are equally difficult for the parents as they are for the children.
So I am left, watching the packpack disappear into the school hoping,
and praying.
