First day of school for my eldest daughter. They made a shorter ceremony than usual, only about 15 minutes. But at least we, the parents, got to enter the school yard and be with them when they released their balloons to the sky. My daughter was happy. She doesn’t doubt her powers, she entered school with peace and self-assurance. That made me sad, whether of my own disappointments or the ones that may come on her path.
