By Hattie Foote The school year is winding down and I just want to start off by saying, “We did it!” It wasn’t pretty, but we did it. As I sat down to write this column, I received an email for the 2021-2022 school registration, and all I could think of was, “What? How?” I was just recently thinking about when lockdown first started in 2020 and schools were abruptly closed for “two weeks.” I couldn’t wrap my head around it, and after that, every time there was news or an update, I would just be devastated. I distinctly remember going on a walk with the kids one afternoon and my news alert went off on my phone saying that school would not resume until the fall. I cried, and honestly at that point, I couldn’t imagine what could/would come next. It was at that point that I decided moving forward, I would just go with the flow and not get my hopes up. “I’ll believe it when I see it,” was my motto and it served me well for many future disappointments.
