A Day of "Lasts"

Today, June 4, 2010, was a day of "lasts." It was the last day Quinn and Alex will go to Calvin Smith Elementary, the last day they will go to sixth grade.

It's the last day they will get on this bus with these neighborhood children.

It's the last day for Gage to be a single man, the last day he will live in this house.

The last day for these children to be sixth graders and be with these friends.

And this friend.

And these friends.

And this friend.

Last day of school with Mrs. Atkinson.

And Mrs. Williams.

And this special friend who helped Alex so much in school.

Last day spent together unmarried.

And tomorrow will be a day of firsts.
