Last day at kindergarten

Today was my last day at kindergarten. My last class was a few weeks ago, but I have been helping out for about 2 weeks. They had me stand up and they said thank you and good luck in my future and I couldn't help but start crying. The idea that I will never see their faces, play tag, heal a wound or sing a song there ever again made tears fall with no shame. They gave me flowers and asked me to give a speech, but words could not come out. I just stood there crying and getting few trembling words out. Kindergarten has such a big place in my heart. I always felt loved, respected and appreciated there. I will truly miss working there and hope that I have made an impact on my students and co-workers lives the way they have on mine. I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to work there. I will miss it there terribly.
