Israel Kamakawiwo’ole's rendition of 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' was playing as Hunter and Zak walked out the door for Hunter's first day at school. I was dancing around with Scout in a sort of celebration but also to stave off the tears that were welling up when I thought about how quickly Hunter is growing... and how soon it will be before Scout is going off to school herself.
It gave me a sneak peek at what a wreck I'll be when they both go off to college.
But I'd never trade that mixed feeling for anything; the simultaneous pride, happiness, and heartbreak.
