Back to school.

Nothing. Nothing prepares you for that wave of emotion watching your child walk into school like this.

Teachers in masks.
Marked out spaces.

Playground cordoned off.

Gruff is beyond happy to be back, don’t get me wrong.
I’ve got mother of the year award as I sent him with a back pack not a disposable carrier for his lunch.

I’d like to wish all teachers the best of luck dealing with what is a very difficult and emotional return.

You’re all stars.
