Today I went back to school to gather the last of my belongings.
I thought I was ok but started to get choked up the minute I walked through the doors.
I've walked through those double doors every morning for the last 4 years and every afternoon I left with a smile on my face. I loved my job. I loved the people I worked with. I loved the kids I taught. I love the families I befriended.
It was bittersweet as I said goodbye to this chapter in my life that I loved so much. That I felt so much satisfaction from.
I would be lying if I said I didn't miss it. I miss the kids, I miss knowing that each day as I walk out the doors that I made a difference in someone's life.
I know I'm making a difference in a very special little boy's life. I am very thankful for that. I am thankful that I get to see his face every time he wakes up in the morning. I am so thankful that my Jeff works so hard so that I can stay home.
I can relate to this and those feelings 100%. Even after almost 2 years, there are days that I miss that. But- I wouldn't miss a day with my kids, even the hard ones! Praising the Lord with you for hard working husbands and the blessing of being able to stay at home with our kids!
