- Go to Missing the First Day
I don't remember missing first day or my kids either. So sad when kids lose a parent when they are young.

I don't remember ever missing the first day of school. I actually looked forward to a new school year. 🍎Unfortunately, things come up, and sometimes it just can't be prevented. When I was in the 9th grade, I remember coming home to the news that my father had died. I wanted to stay home the next day, but for whatever reason I didn't, even though I was in a bit of shock from the news of his passing. He lived 3,000 miles away, so it wasn't like I could do anything about it.

Re: Amanda
No. I did not. I timed it well on the health front.
