Yes, these are my Grandmother's dishes on the mantle. After her death, they only made me sad. Years later, as I display them in my first home, they are a daily reminder to take advantage of the time you have with the people you love most.

Never Again
Today was not what I thought it would be in any way, form, or fashion. Usually, I would be relieved that the first day back to school has come and gone. Surprisingly, the only emotion I feel at the end of this long day is sadness. Though it is a bittersweet sadness, I am still fighting back the tears. Never again will I have to buy notebooks, pencils, highlighters, or the infamous notecards. Never again will I pick out what I'm going to wear on the first day back. Never again will my Momma get to kiss me goodbye as I start a new school year. School is all I've known for 17 years. I never realized how much it consumed my life until this day, my last first day of school. Wasn't it just last year I graduated high school??
