It was harder yesterday

Yesterday afternoon we took Thomas back to school.  Because had had moved into a room by himself, there were several things he needed from the grocery again.  Yikes...not cheap!  We bought him some cold medicine also as he didn't feel 100%, and I'm hoping and praying for multiple reasons, that it isn't COVID!

I'm grateful that dropping him off coincided with us having plans with our good friends, because it was a lot harder this time.  When we dropped him off the first time, it was all so exciting and full of so much possibility.  Yesterday didn't feel that way at all.  Thomas had a hell of a tough week.  He knows his classes might be tough.  There had been lots of good, but also lots of "hard" in those eleven days.  It was so, so much harder to leave him there yesterday, and I'm not going to lie...I am very grateful I get to bring him home again on Friday for a long weekend!
