As I read her email telling me when she's coming back, my heart sank lower with every line. In fact, as lame as it may sound, I'm fighting back tears right now at the thought of leaving my kids. I felt so at home there. It makes it a lot easier to know what an amazing teacher and kind woman their regular teacher is, so I have no concerns about whether or not they'll be "alright". But I'm still heartbroken.
The past few weeks have been downright heavenly. I've felt a sense of purpose and accomplishment I hadn't had for a long, long time. I felt like I was part of a community, and a wonderful one at that. I'm going to miss that so much.
I've been avoiding thinking about when my time there would end. Kind of fooling myself into thinking I'd stay until Spring Break. But now the end is not only real, it's soon.
