A Day Like Any Other
Today is Savannah's first day of being legal. No getting up at dawn or walking her to school and feeling my heart drop into my stomach as she disappears into the crowd. No worrying about if she is nervous or sad or feels uncomfortable. No lunch money to lose. No mystery meat. No raising of hands or sitting in alphabetical order all day. No going over material she has known since she was three. No squirming in her seat because the teacher doesn't believe she really has to go to the bathroom for the tenth time today. Art every day whenever we want. Eating when we are hungry. Spontaneous searches on Google to see why things are the way they are, who made them that way and why. Going outside whenever we want. Just life. The same way we live it everyday. Asking lots and lots of questions and finding all the answers. Together. Learning all the time. Yeah, this is what I lived for.
