The teacher who quietly loves your kid so much that, on her last day of elementary school, she sobs all the way to the car.
The women who volunteer to give your kids a safe ride home when you can't be there and who send pictures of special moments you would have otherwise missed.
The men who cheer your kids on from the sideline as loudly as they do their own.
The friends who kindly smack your head when you have nothing nice to say about yourself.
The strangers who don't ask questions when your tears spill from behind the sunglasses.
The djs who play just the right songs to make your car bounce with giggles and the greatest dancing this side of the double yellow lines.
The boy who asks your shy girl to be his girlfriend...and the daughter who politely responds... "Eww...gross, no!"
The sunshine on a beautiful afternoon spent with the three most important people in the world.
The chocolate smiles of full bellies.
A stolen few minutes in an otherwise full day.
The extra hugs they come running back for.
Picking your children up on their last day of school and being the first to see the relieved smiles of newly minted 2nd, 5th, and 8th grade students.
Appreciate every moment on days like this.
These are the ones we can't take for granted.
