Well I guess it is time for another update. I have had quite the week. Last Sunday I left the school, packed up everything, said goodbye and left. I went to the group time before all the kids go to bed and basically said goodbye then cried my eyes out. Some of the children who speak English said something or relayed something too me. I remember Amee said “Thank you Khru Alice for Yoga” which is what the children say to me at the end of each yoga class. Fa said “Goodbye Khru Alice please don’t forget us” Wow that one really made me cry. Then most of the children ran up and hugged me. I tried to acknowledge each one by name and say I love you to show that I connected personally with each one of them and will miss them. Asama also stayed behind and said goodbye and gave me a hug. It is nice to know the Thai staff will miss me also.
