    She's not herself today. As she busies herself with the usual morning rush she feels the tears are not far away.
    The littlest one is part excited part fearful as she dresses him in his new outfit.
    She talks to him in her best reassuring voice as they walk to the car. She has been at this point before but this time it's different, for he is the last one.
    In a little while they stand in this new place, he bewildered, she soothing,encouraging. And then as the other adult takes him by the hand and leads him away, a bittersweet feeling flows over her, this is the beginning and the end.
    And as she walks out into the rain, the tears fall, silent and gentle.
