Tears

There were tears today at our local primary school as parents waved goodbye to their children going on a trip. The children were only going for three days but they carried suitcases big enough to accommodate enough clothes for a fortnight. I was taking an assembly and was only an innocent bystander at the scene which was quite touching.
My mum always reckoned that she was upset when my brother and I went to school… she shed a tear, because we were not upset!
