Oh the places you will go

I am just in awe that I just sat through my son's first school awards program. Bittersweet moment of my baby is graduating kindergarten and look how far he has come.
A year ago we started this journey with fear and anticipation of exactly what this year would hold for him. It has proven to be hard, yet well worth the journey. He has amazed me with his abilities.  He has learned more about who he is and what he can do in the past 9 months. He has made his first steps in becoming someone great. Someone who is unstoppable and courageous. 
All the mornings that we spent fighting clothes, school and fears are now worth it. All the progress and all the tears. Not to say this year didn't come with setbacks and disappointments, it did but through all of them, he overcame.  He did it.
My son who fights more with himself than anyone I've seen. Who struggles with anxiety and depression worse than most adults. My son finished his kindergarten year. I couldn't be more proud of him.
And even though he won't show it he is proud of himself.
