So yesterday ended up being my very. last. day. with “the girls”. I cried a little sobbed most of the way home when I left their house yesterday. I was doing ok until I read this, written by the oldest of “my” three girls:
Dear Bridget,
It’s hard to believe this is the last school day you’ll spend with us. I am really going to miss seeing you. We have had some really good times. I wish you could stay here forever. I hope that we always stay in touch and talk/e-mail often. I will check your website to get updates on your life. Thanks for being such an awesome babysitter and friend. I don’t think there is one person in [our town] happy that you are leaving. You made an impact on many peoples’ lives. There are not enough words in the universe (every language including Pig Latin) to describe how I feel towards you. You will be greatly missed here.
If that doesn’t bring a tear to your eye, you have no soul. What a sweetie! I’ll miss you, too, Ell-bell!
