My brightest glimmer this year was watching my oldest child, Ari, stand up on the bima and lead his Bar Mitzvah service with ease and confidence. Thinking back about where he started at Micah: a little toddler crying all day every day at Micah Children's Academy and me wondering if this phase would ever end; if he would ever become independent. If I could see the future, I wouldn't have believed it, and I'm pretty sure Lynn Heady wouldn't have either :)
