Is this gonna be forever?!

The three children I have been tutoring for the last 2 1/2 years are moving across country tomorrow. We had our "last" tutoring session a few weeks ago, then the real last tutoring session this last Friday (again). I'm really, really going to miss them. We've had our ups and downs, many moments of amazing learning connections, lots of (sometimes too much) laughter, frustrations (that followed), annoyances and most of all, fun-filled fun. Like all end-of-the-school-year emotions, it has been quite sad especially since these children have become my family. We have shared our lives together by celebrating birthdays, holidays, meals, graduations, tragedies, coincidences, promotions, transitions, tantrums, and milestones that have earned this city the feeling of home. This dear family has contributed in making this transition easier and more comforting with the smells of Chinese home-cooking, ginger soy sauce eggs and screaming nannies.

I will miss you, Family!
