There are literally no words to express my gratitude for this day. Yes, it’s been an emotional one. Not only was this the last school daze field trip I will ever have chaperoned after my full-time mom gig of raising kids through school for a total of 27 years, how blessed am I to have even been “allowed” to participate one last time by my daughter? I’ve been careful not to overstep my bounds and helicopter her all over that high school campus like some other moms have done, because this is HER high school experience, not mine, and I very much wanted her to know that I respected my “place” in all of it. So, yes, I asked her permission first.
First, we toured three different houses of faith to learn about their religions … a Muslim mosque, a Buddhist temple, and a Jewish synagogue … then ended with a picnic and eclipse viewing. She was so happy to have me there and expressed it over and over, and it NEVER hurts hearing those words, “Mom, all my friends just freaking love you”. I’ve been on the edge of blubbering mess all day.
I am filled with power, love, light, grace, and gratitude right now. I am such a lucky momma to have gotten to spend this entire day with my daughter and her friends on their senior field trip.
In the meantime, we are heading out for a Starset concert downtown that we’ve had tickets to for almost eight months, and if you know anything about our affinity for that band, to be in front of their stage on this of all days will be ethereal.
