it came.
30th of January 2010
I held it together when she came into our bedroom fully dressed in her uniform. I held it together when she stumbled down the front walkway with her bigger-than-she-is bag dragging behind her. I held it together on the drive to school, when she jumped in excitement when she found a friend from kindy and when she hugged and kissed me goodbye without a worry in her world.

It was when we walked away leaving our last baby at school that I didn’t do so good.
