Happy moment

Both of my kids read short stories today for the first time. I know that I'm not the only Mom who is brought to tears when her child reads for themselves. I think as a homeschooling Mom however, I may get a wee bit more emotional. Deciding to teach the children at home is not a decision made lightly. So often we're left wondering if we've made a difference, if our child(ren) is learning. We question ourselves. For today, for this brief moment, I'm letting out a big sigh. In that sigh you will find joy, contentment, and pride. At the end of the sigh you might catch a "what next" but probably not. Life is good.
