Miller Family Update: Homeschool Completed

Today was caralynn’s last zoom meeting with her teacher. She was very sad. Her teacher means so much to her. Anderson also said goodbye to his teacher in person today as we picked up the contents of his desk. So hard to say goodbye:( It is crazy how attached we have become to these amazing teachers who we have allowed in our homes. It’s a very intimate thing and we feel like they are part of our family. They read, sing to and with our kids, listen with eagerness at their stories and thoughts, engage them and uplift them. They do this all from the comfort of their own homes. We allow them into our most sacred space, where we are the most vulnerable. Distance learning is nothing like we had imagined. Homeschool is intense and time consuming. Our respect for educators is endless! These are uncertain times. We don’t know what the future holds. What we do know is that these last few months have been unique and we have learned to embrace this new normal. We have grown closer, more aware of each other’s thoughts, strengths and weaknesses. As we wrap up this school year, we can honestly say we will miss these amazing women who we have allowed a glimpse into our crazy home. Mrs Niles and Mrs Buckley, What an absolute blessing you both have been for our children. They love you both to the moon and back. Our hearts are heavy as we prepare to say goodbye to this amazing and challenging school year. Thank you for all you do and we pray you feel our love and gratitude!
