Man. Today was my niece and nephew’s first day of school. FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL. 6TH FREAKING GRADE. They’ve homeschooled up until this point and I didn’t think it was going to hit me so dang hard.
I FaceTimed with them on their way to school and I cried. I broke down like an old Ford truck. I’M NOT EVEN THEIR MOM AND I’M NOT EVEN ON MY DANG PERIOD! They have lockers now! They have to change classes and I think I was more stressed about that than they were!
I want to protect them and keep them from all the bad things in the world. The heartbreak. The people who suck. The mean kids. I don’t want them to be too cool to give me a hug. Or be embarrassed when I wave and scream “I love you” from the car window.
What is this feeling?! Is it the feeling and weight of time? I think I just feel old. And I’m homesick. Dreadfully homesick. I’m just so proud of them and the wonderful humans they’ve become and I hope the world let’s them continue to be bright and shiny and silly and kind and beautiful.

I feel similar about my nephew going to school for 3rd grade (he was taking online classes last I saw him) and I got hit with these overwhelming feels of seeing this great kid go out into the world... and it makes me emotional.. because all I can remember is how I was treated.. and because it wasn't great, I get so emotionally intense about the thought of his personality being attacked or his appearance or any of the things I know he'll have to deal with going to school and dealing with other kids. I just try to remind myself that whilst I can't stop anything from happening necessarily, I can give him what I didn't have as a child and that's a friend that will always have his best interest at heart, no matter what anyone says. I always remind him that his individuality is worth more than any negativity that comes his way. And I just hope he has fun 😌 I just want him to enjoy it.

They always grow up too fast.. I don’t have nieces and nephews yet (my sister is a bit too young for that), but I have a cousin, that’s a generation younger than me. My aunt is one of my best friends and her 9yo (oh gosh he’s 9!) is my favourite kid in the entire world. When he started school, I told him, if anyone was mean to him, he could tell me. And he does. On the contrary, he also tells me about the positive things. And even though I’m not his cool aunt, I kinda get to be his cool much older cousin. And yeah, I’m super proud of him. I wanna see him succeed.. They’ll change the world someday... these tiny sprouts grow into beautiful flowers and strong trees and they’re the future, so... 💛

It's understandable! School can be a really shitty place that shows you early on that not everyone is a good person. That doesn't mean that it won't help them grow and make them into even better human beings. Just make sure to be there for them when they need you and all will be good!

Hang in there. My oldest nephew is also starting sixth grade. He's half the country away and it kills me not to be able to protect him or talk to him and council him. We can't always be there for them when we want, but we can let them know we would if we could❤️

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL! Basically you’re Marlon, and you just need to trust the Nemo twins will flourish in their new environment, the Big Open Blue, a.k.a, 6th grade. Hashtag JUST KEEP SWIMMING.

I constantly feel this with my niece and nephew. it's really hard because I live away from them and most of the time that I do get to see them is just spent with them trying to get comfortable around me again.
