Today was the last day at my daycare center. It was such a sad day. I was saying goodbye to one of the kids I'll miss soooo much and when I told her I loved her, her mother just broke down and cried so hard, and that of course made me cry. She said how hard it is building up the trust with new caregivers and all. I went to hug another parent and she said, now I thought I was gonna get out of here without crying, now I'll be crying the whole way up the road. It was just so hard to say goodbye to all those kids and parents and co workers. They have been like my family for the past 2 years, and been my complete support system. And those kids are like part of my heart. Some of them I feel like they are nieces or nephews, watching them grow and develop and blossom.

Then after they all left, we had to tear down everything, pack up ect... The walls in my classroom looked so bare. *sigh. I know that God has His hand in all of this, and I know that I've made lasting relationships there, but I still feel like a bunch of little pieces of my heart are gone. I'm so thankful for the opportunity that I had to pray over all those kids, to hold them when they cried, play with them, laugh with them and sometimes at them. Many times in the morning when they would come in and would be sleepy still, needing morning snuggles, I would take that time to pray over thier lives. I'm grateful that God allowed me to be a part of those precious ones. Oh how I'll miss hearing "i love you Ms Cindy" when I need it the most, and getting hugs just because, or hearing, "will you play with me, will you read to me?"

I'm also thankful for how God not only used me to witness and minister, but recieved as well. I have been blessed to work among mostly tender hearted christians, and I know what a blessing that is now a days. Anyway, enough of my rambling..I just had to get those emotions out. *smiles

love
