Here I am with some wonderful people that I have had the pleasure of sharing my days with. We have laughed together, cried together, moved together (twice). We have celebrated together, broken bread together, endured together. I am so honored and fortunate to have had my paths cross theirs. They are wonderful people, exceptional coworkers, treasured friends.
But today was our last day together. All that we created together, is now just a memory. We will go on to new places...new locales, different classrooms. I like to think that we have all left our mark on one another. I like to think that as we move forward in different directions, we have all touched each other and affected each other....and therefore carry a piece of one another with us as we go. I know they have affected me...and I am a better person for having been able to spend time working alongside them.
