Shut down for the year

The governor has just announced that there will be no more school for the year.  I am not remotely surprised by this.  Yet, I am sad.  I miss all of the kids so much, and let's not forget that I have two of my own, one of whom is a senior.  She realized that this definitely meant no Prom.  She is such a strong young lady, and she is handling it well overall, but I know she is hurting.  I have promised her there will be other special events for her to celebrate, but I completely understand how she is feeling right now.  She mentioned how she didn't get to say good bye to her teachers, and I assured her we would communicate in some manner.  I keep telling her we are all grateful to be safe and healthy, and it's true.  It could be so much worse.

There are so many other emotions that go into all of this.  That's another post for another day.
