The Kindness of Cheering Others On

"Love is cheering and sharing and compassion and giving and receiving.  Love is an action thing more than a word thing, that brings comfort or joy or relief to anyone or anything."
― Ziggy Marley

It's back to school! 

Classes began for most children in our area today and my son is attending a new school.  I was very surprised to receive texts from various people telling me that they were thinking about him and asking about his new school.  The messages came in from friends as well as from his assistant teacher last year.  I was especially surprised last night to receive a message from one of his preschool teachers.  Preschool was a number of years ago and it touched my heart that she was still thinking of us as the new year begins.

A new beginning at a new school can give a child -- and his parents -- a little bit of angst.  As with most things in life, it is nice to know that others are cheering us on.
