Usually this time of year, we would be scrambling around collecting school supplies, shopping for back to school clothes, and scrutinizing our schedules looking for the time to squeeze in one last summer memory before it all ends.
This year, however, is nothing like we’ve seen before. Many of you do not even know how you are going to balance your child’s school needs with your work schedules. Or what those schedules will even look like.
We feel you, and you are not alone.
Our oldest daughter, Evelyn, is headed back to her senior year in college. The only thing that seems for-sure at this point is she’ll be spending more time in her first apartment than she ever thought she would. For a young lady who’s spent the last 3 years learning how to fill auditoriums with dance fans, she’s shown remarkable enthusiasm for the future. We pray for her that those auditoriums can again be full of cheering fans.
Our youngest daughter Lizzy is going to be starting her high school senior year at the North East School of the Arts. It was going to be a year of football games, friends, and fries at Whataburger. Big performances-dances and memories.
Now... Zoom and... she’s not quite sure.
Let’s not dwell on what’s different, lost, or what may have been.
Instead, let’s remember to focus on the positive.
Let’s remember how important our families are, and what a blessing good health is. And that God loves us. And that you have friends.
I hope you can count on us as a friend. If there is something we can do for you, please don't hesitate to ask.
-Alisa and Charley Wasson
