Oh dear! I need a vacation right now. I have been telling all my clients that I'm moving and it's so emotionally draining.

Everyone is pretty upset. Some are upset to lose me, specifically. Some are upset to just be losing a P.T. in general. Either way, it stinks. One of the moms said today "I thought we'd just have you forever." Yesterday, one of the moms started crying. Which made me cry. Which was hard to stop. Most of the moms tell me flat out "No. You can't leave. I won't let you." Or something along those lines. I feel like I am letting so many people down. I keep telling myself that these kids have had me for up to 2.5 years and it's okay for me to move on, but it's still so hard.

After Thursday, I will have told every single family. It will be a huge relief to be done with that.

Then I just have to tell the family of my little sister from Big Brothers/Big Sisters. That is going to be terribly hard.

Thanks for listening. Today was a hard day and I just needed to vent! (Not that I haven't been venting ALL night to DH! We even had to go get a Blizzard from Dairy Queen to make it better!)

Thanks Nicole!

Boy, when you people dance, you really go all out, don't ya????

You guys are obviously much younger than I am.

Julie, sorry this is all so emotionally draining on you. The trip will give you a lot of happiness. I know your families are going to miss you so much, not just as a therapist, but as a sweet friend in their lives. This is one of those situations where you really understand the phrase, "Our loss is their gain." I know I felt the same way when we lost two assistant principals. They were promoted to principals at other schools, and I really did feel exactly like that - we were losing good, good people, and some new teachers were being lucky enough to get them. You'll miss your 'old' families, but think of the lucky new families out there that will be so fortunate to have you coming to them.

The Little Sister thing - that may be pretty hard. I'll pray that she'll get another good woman that will step up and be as good to her as I know you have been.


Ice cream does have a way of making life easier, doesn't it?

 

[mkluvsmickey]

Boy - where have I been? I can't believe you are down to 8 DAYS!!!!

I love the shirt you got at Disney Store - so cute!

 

[TarzansKat]

I'm late!

Can I still dance?



YAY!

Sorry you're going through such an emotional experience in leaving work. I know it's hard, but if you can somehow turn it around and look at it as how blessed they felt to have you in their lives, and that is very, very special. Of course they don't want to lose someone as great as you are! I mean, this may be "just" an internet message board, but the type of person you are just comes shining on through each of your posts, and that's someone wonderful!

Yes, ice cream makes EVERYTHING in life easier!

Thank you for giving me a little perspective on this situation, MeMom. I never expected this to be so difficult. You're absolutely right, though...I should try to focus on my future families, rather than dwelling on the old ones.

Boy - where have I been? I can't believe you are down to 8 DAYS!!!!

I love the shirt you got at Disney Store - so cute!

Thanks for the dance!

I love that shirt too. It was a little bit too big when I tried it on, but I'm hoping I can shrink it some when I wash and dry it!

I'm late!

Can I still dance?

Of course you can still dance! And thanks for that awesome dance!

You are totally right...I need to try to focus on the time and care that I have given to these families, rather than the fact that I am leaving.

And thanks for your sweet words.
