When I was a kid, Staples ran a back to school ad where parents were rejoicing to someone singing “It’s the most wonderful time of the year!” This is my fourth back to school as a parent and I still cannot relate whatsoever. I miss my little buddies. :(

    Elementary school, dropping off was sad. We love them. It’s natural.

    Middle and high school, my wife dances in the driveway the first day they’re off to school.

    I just dropped my daughter off at university for the start of third year. She is planning to stay in the university town to get a job next summer. I may have just moved her out of home for the last time.
