Going back to school. Why does he have to go? Two extremely painful essays by a grieving mother. I forgot my car in central Athens. Perspective, relativity and the original paradise which we all lose.
Xen used to cry when I did the pre-school drop off. Even if I hung out for a bit and then tried to slip out, as soon as I was seen leaving the water works started. It was during a difficult time. Mom and I had recently split and time with me was somewhat limited, so every moment mattered. Ultimately, things shifted and we sorted out more opportunities to be together, but those drop-offs were brutal.

Thank you for sharing this Joe! I know, this drop-offs are awful...
