exhale
it is the end.
the end of my mothering
to this group of shorties.
three more days and
we will have our
last morning meeting.
our last group hug.
it will be the last chance
we have to walk to
mr. benny's for snowballs
and laugh at our colored tongues.
this week is crazy.
but in a good way.
spinning out of control
i want the merry-go-round
to stop so i can catch my breath
and say,"that was fun! let's do it again!"
Here's to three more days of goodness!
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing. You have given these kids something they will more than likely remember forever. Gosh we have such power in the way we affect others!
What a way to send them off, Kathleen. I'm sure they'll remember that trip fondly for many, many years to come...
ReplyDeleteditto, and you photos of this year are superb!
ReplyDeletea door closes, a window opens...
ReplyDeleteThese children were/are so lucky to have had you in thier lives, and you to have them in yours... your photos are inspiring and wonderful. Thank you and thanks to the shorties for sharing~
you can always come upstairs to give hugs...and there will be so many new hearts to love...but I guess they'll never be fourth graders again. It's kinda sad.
ReplyDeletelove how you've shared this experience. it must be tough to say good-bye, but that just proves the potency of all the relationships...
