Erin headed off to 8th grade today, starting the same grade that Shannon never got to finish.
I can still picture Shannon heading to school for her first day of 8th grade, wearing her ever present headband that she positioned to hide the radiation burns. Two years has gone by too fast.
Dan and I are both feeling a little melancholy about it. Another start to another school year. Not exactly how it should be, but this is how it is.
But, it's Erin's turn now. She's her own person, making her own way, and we couldn't be rooting any harder for her...
