I wo n't be holding her hand , I wo n't be sitting with her while they figure out what bus she will ride , I wo n't be standing on the sidelines , crying , saying goodbye to our summer . Instead , I will pack her lunch , give her a smooch , tell her I love her and to have a great day at school then I will watch her walk out the door with her friend and wave as they gossip the whopping block to the shuttle bus . I will most definitely cry after she walks out the door . I already have .

Question: Why might I not walk her to the bus stop ?
Answer: Because she is getting old enough to walk to the bus stop with her friends with my supervision .Because she is not old enough to walk to school with her friends without my supervision .Because she is getting old enough to walk to the bus stop with her friends without my supervision .Because she is getting old enough to walk to school with her friends without my supervision .
