Almost every evening as I head home from work, there is a homeless veteran conveniently perched at the end of the highway exit where cars line up at a red light. He is there in the cold and snow, the clouds and sun. At first I felt compassion for the guy and wondered how I could help, but as he appeared day after day, week after week, I began to get angry.

As I dropped my older boys off for their first day of school I was trying to grip with the reality that summer was indeed over and a new chapter is beginning. While we moms chatted I kept hearing the same theme reechoed; time goes by so fast, where did the summer go, it seems like summer just started, how are they back to school already. We all gave our last hug and farewell, fighting back the emotions and a few tears hoping no one would notice. Of course, our kiddos walked forward with confidence, not even looking back.
