words don’t describe how painful our last day was. as the kids got on the bus there was a deep sense of loss that filled us all. i have never seen a child express such a profound and honest sadness. no matter how evil or uncontrollable some of these kids were, every child was in tears and savoring every final moment. it was in this that i realized what a precious gift love is - to love someone without condition and without reservation. that is a gift that speaks to everyone and brings about change. we loved these kids and regardless of how they showed it, they loved us more. how hard it was to realize that at goodbye.
