A very traumatic day

I remember those days when my kid's headed off for their first day of school. I'm sure it was a tough day for Daddy as well. :agree:

I hope this cheers you up!

I tried to edit this to make the photos smaller, no such luck.

Our Grandson Zach's first day of kindergarten, Mom and Dad were a wreck, Zach looked like a little lost orphan, very tough day indeed. Seems like just yesterday he was just a little baby. Time's flying by.

The good news is, Grandma (my wife Barb) is his bus driver. He thought that was pretty cool.
 
thanks for sharing...............

Great photos Russell. I assume those were captures from a video. Kids are so lucky today that their young lives are captured on film and video so they can have something to look at when they get older. I have practically nothing from my childhood growing up in Seymour, IN. Sad. Lee Ann makes up for it now though by taking like 1,000 pictures when we take a trip together.
 
yeah, I know him...........

Yes, I have known John since I was a child. When he was married to his first wife he lived right behind me. I have mega-John stories from both before he was famous and afterwards. His sister/my sister were very good friends in high school, our parents played golf together. John is 9 years older than me so we were never close at all.
 
Tough Day

I remember that day. From the time he was a baby, I was on afternoons. We had a routine and did everything together. From that day he went to kindergarten things were never as good. I used to look forward to those sick days. I still look forward to days where it is just him and me and he is 22 now!:twak:
 
My Daddy planted a tree on my first day of school and took my picture beside it. 45 years later that same tree fell and did some damage to both Jeremy's pro cars (now this thread is no longer off topic) filled his Ranger full of limbs, didn't touch my hearse .... And all of this after Jeremy had threatened to cut it down!!!

I think that may be the funniest post I have ever read on her EVER!
 
Jeremy can sleep through a tornado. This storm woke him up in time to actually see the tree coming toward the house. It wasn't long before that he told me he was gonna cut it down and I wasn't too happy about it. I think Daddy was in on that ordeal!!! Jeremy didn't have to cut it down and piss me off yet it got his vehicles on the way down!
 
Actually I think it was more traumatic when they went off to college and Coast Guard than to kindergarten. At least they came home from kindergarten. Now I have to spend way too much quality time with Richard.
 
Marilyn and I have a VERY trying day coming...Our 1st Grandson is due very soon and we're just on edge all the time waiting for the call....And Daughter and Poppa to be have NO transportation and live 30 minutes away...the wrong way to the Dr's prescribed Hospital.:pat:

I've ORDERED her to get it done with...I know Richard's available but...
 
Just a couple thoughts.......it seemed easier to watch the kids go off to school. We got married, had kids, and just knew that they were gonna go off to school someday. Later they would meet somebody special, get married and move on. It just seemed more natural.

Watching the product of the latter, Zachary, it feels really awful. I wasn't here for it, but the pictures put tears in my eyes. His Mommy had a hell of a time with it, Daddy was OK, and Grandma had tears in her eyes when she let him off at school. Much harder to have it be the grandkids.

He's been around here so much, we've gotten really close, more like my little buddy than my grandson. We've played a lot together, run trains in the basement together, just had a real good time, now he's gone.

Fortunately, little Mackenzie (18 months) is here fill some of the void.

Life goes on..............
 
Please allow me to clarify something........nothing bad happened to Zachary. He is still very much alive, just ran off to school. Moving on with life, as it were. I just don't get to be around him so much.

Kenzie is here as much as always, just a little bit too young to have as much fun with yet.

Sorry if the post before upset anybody.
 
I think it's traumatic that the school bus has to have a no-guns sign on it! :smiley3:

Just remember, you're not losing a grandson, you're gaining an educated kindergartner!!!!
