Our last homeschool co-op meetup is today, as the semester comes to an end. My heart is full and also a little heavy. It's bittersweet saying goodbye for the summer to the rhythm of our weekly meetups, the sound of kids learning and laughing together, and the sweet friendships that have blossomed along the way.
We've been so blessed by this community. I am a naturally introverted and distrusting kind of person (thank you, trauma). But they are godly bunch - encouraging, fun families who have come to feel more like extended family than just co-op friends. They've embraced my kids, and brought me out of my protective shell. The thought of not seeing some of them again until September brings sadness, but we’re also thankful for the memories made and the growth we’ve all shared.
Today, I thank the Lord for this gift of friendship, community, and the freedom to homeschool in such a rich and meaningful way.
