Faces I Will Miss

Today was the last day of school.

Many of these faces I will never see again. 

Their lives will change over the summer, 

and they will not return to this school. 

These are some of the faces I will miss...

My girls I see while doing "bus duty."

My playground crew.

Favorite smiles.

My high school bus boys.  They make me smile.

Barney and the Bear.
That bear has followed me around from classroom to classroom
for about 15 years.
He hibernates all summer in my classroom.
I will miss his smile.
Barney, I will miss your sweet smile, too!

Shanny, Jair-bear, and Lily

Spring.  Love.  I just know she'll be back!

My little Sophia.  Love.  I'm not sure if she'll be back.



Now for this next, and final photo,

please do not adjust your glasses.

It is blurry.

I left it that way for a reason.

You see, Patrick will be "graduating" to the middle school next year.

Even though he'll be in the same building,

I still will not be able to see his smiling face on a frequent basis.

Plus, he'll be in 6th grade,

and I don't think 6th graders stop in to give Mom's a smooch on a regular basis.

O.K., here goes...remember don't adjust your glasses.

I want you to be weepy just like me!



Weepy.  It just makes me weepy. . .
Weepy makes me blurry.
Can you feel my pain?



Well, there you have it.

These are the faces I will miss.

Thanks for being there for me.

from the range, peace,
