have you seen the website dear photograph? it’s amazing. the gist? you take a picture of a picture from the past in the present.
monday this was posted. and this describes exactly how i will be on wednesday morning when ben heads off to school.

Dear Photograph,
Letting go of my mother’s hand the first day of school was always the hardest.
Liz
i have no doubt that the mother pictured in this photo is having just as hard of a time letting go of her daughter’s hand. this will be me on wednesday. there may or may not be tears & my goal is to wait until i am back in the car…
