It’s been a tradition to take a picture of the kids on their first day of school… so I was glad I was aware of the moment today when Steel left of his last day of high school.  It is (most likely) the last day he’ll leave this home for school.  He’s been very patient with me as I reminisce and get nostalgic from time to time.  I know he is aware of the significance too and is trying to really live in the moment.  We make tradition and/or ritual out of anything important to us… and I am so proud that this was important to him too.
