Dear Mica, Today is the last day of school for the year. Your big brother will be home for the summer and you would have been thrilled to have him home more. The 3 of us should be getting ready to spend our days at the pool and playing with friends. You would have been so fun this summer. But instead mommy is wondering how she will find enough time to cry without scaring your brother.
So, Ned has finished the 3rd grade. He actually had a good year at school. He has made a lot of new friends and also held onto his old ones. He is overall happy and even thanked mommy for allowing him to double skip on his school mother’s day project.
He will be a 4th grader next year and I can only hope that the school continues to be his safe place. He will also be going to the middle school for pre-algebra class with the 7th graders. I am hoping that he will have some friendly faces from last year’s math class but if nothing else there will be one 6th grader that he adores in with him. We got to meet his teacher last week, and she seemed very nice and ready to take on the challenge of working with your brother.
I hope that it is okay that I tell you what your brother is up to even though it hurts mommy to think about you not getting to do those same things someday. I love you Mica, yesterday, today and tomorrow too.
