I Will Survive

First I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
without you by my side

So I am glad to report that I did not turn into a whimpering mess on Big J's first day of school. I was nervous for him and weepy for a large part of the day, but today has been better. I think his ok-ness with everything helped me. He was nervous the day before, but he did great! He was so excited he was getting to the point that it was obnoxious, so it was a little easier to let him go ;-)

Yesterday, I asked him if he wanted me to walk him into his classroom and his answer was, "No, I'm fine!" And he was. He hopped out of the van and ran off with a wave. The P.E. teacher, Mrs. Chambers, was on crosswalk duty and said something to him as he went by then looked up at me . I smiled then motioned with my hand like I was wiping my tears and she nodded her head and smiled at me with a knowing smile.

I guess I will be ok..... *sigh*

you think I'd crumble

you think I'd lay down and die

Oh no, not I

I will survive

as long as i know how to love

I know I will stay alive

I've got all my life to live

I've got all my love to give

and I'll survive

I will survive
