Day 44

Dear Kindergarten Class of 2020,

You might not be a high school senior, but this was a big year for you also.  You began your journey as a student.  You met new friends, began to learn in a whole new way, and set the foundation for your educational career. 

We know how you are missing so many things that were new and exciting to you, like learning a schedule, having lunch with your peers, and developing relationships with others who may become life-long friends. 

We know that this whole situation is hard for you to understand.  We know that you miss your friends and teachers.  We know that you were looking forward to so many fun things that were promised to you, like school trips, field day, and your end of year programs.  We, as your parents have been looking forward to that too.

As your parents, we have been so excited to watch your journey begin this year.  We have watched you mature and navigate a new experience.  This has been the beginning of a whole new chapter for you and us as well.

We want you to know that no matter what, we will do our best to make sure that this time, although a time we could have never prepared for, will not damper this special time in your life.  We promise to make this time as memorable and happy as possible.



***Edited to add....

Dear Parents,

I don't really give a shit.  And I probably won't remember this year much anyway.

Love, kid (or at least my kid)
