Where did her Summer go?

Where did her summer go? Her and I have both been wondering the same thing. It just sneaked up on us and we didn’t even see it coming.

Suddenly, it was time to register for school and go shopping for new clothes.

Suddenly, it was time to say goodbye to the long days of just relaxing and having time on her own.

Suddenly, it was time to say goodbye to those long nights of staying up late and talking for hours on end without having to worry about getting up early the next day.

Now, it is time to plan for a another school year and all it will bring.

I feel really bad that she didn’t have the summer she had planned. Her summer was filled with excitement, frustration, anxiety, anger and depression. It wasn’t long before acceptance set in that she would not be spending her summer in Greece. At least now she has learned that things don’t always go as planned and sometimes there are obstacles that get in the way.  It was definitely a summer of learning.
