I didn't cry when I saw his desk with his name and the room where he will spend most of his day.
I didn't cry when the teacher asked for kids who were willing to share their name and Jack raised his hand.
I didn't cry when The Kissing Hand was being read.
I didn't cry as Jack claimed a locker for his very own.
I almost cried when I realized the boys Jack thought he was playing with were really chasing him away and wanted nothing to do with him.
I cried when I looked in the rear view mirror and saw Jack's face reflected back at me. "I will miss you" I said to him and he smiled.
That's when I cried.

I hate the first day of school the most! You can do it! And thanks, I had remained tearless as I saw L off to school, but reading yours has made me cry. I need a kissing hand of my own right now!
