Goodbye hugging...

So today was the last day of school. Funnily enough it didn't feel sad. I suppose that I have explained what I am doing so many times and said my goodbyes to the children really already. I have tried to teach them that it is okay to feel sad and excited all at the same time. I had a hug from every child. Some particularly heartfelt. I had hugs from some parents. I am blown away by the generosity shown in the form of thoughtfully written cards, presents, a beautiful painted rock, and contributions to a group gift of vouchers for John Lewis (a big department store here). Blown away...
