The final goodbyes have started. Yesterday was my last time teaching one of my families– 2 girls and their mother. I am teaching up into the week that we are leaving, but this family left for a long vacation today.
Things were going fine– until about halfway through the 7th grader’s lesson. All of a sudden, as I’m in the middle of explaining part of the song, she interrupted and said, “I’m gonna miss you…” and started crying. Tore my heart out. Since she’s in junior high, however, she started fanning her eyes and saying, “Whew, DON’T cry, DON’T cry, you’re wearing mascara!”
As I was leaving, the younger girl said, “Wait! I wrote you a song!” She then proceeded to sit down at the piano and play a little tune she’d made up to go with these words.
MAN! This leaving-stuff is HARD!
