Five Years Old
"But mom I don't want to go to school." The girl complains.

"You have to baby. It won't be that bad. I promise." The mother tries to reassure her.

"What if no one likes me?" She trembles.

"They will. You're funny, kind, and beautiful. What's not to love?" The mother says gently.

"Okay. I'll do it for you mommy." The girl finally gives in.

The mother smiles and helps her into her coat. They walk hand in hand to the bus stop. It's the girls first day of Kindergarten. The bus pulls up and the mother's heart clenches when the girl pulls her hand from hers and walks towards the bus.

Before the gets on she turns around and grins at her mom.

"I love you mom!" She calls out before climbing the stairs and greeting the bus driver with a smile.

"I love you too baby." She whispers. Then she turns around and walks away with a small smile. Her baby is growing up.
