Today was the last day for Kids & I. The doors have closed after almost 31 years. I've had the privilege of working at the center for just over 24 years. Wow, what a amazing time it has been! There is so much that I'm going to miss....greeting all of you at the door, children's noses pushed up against the glass door waiting to get in, helping the little ones with their coats and boots, helping the kids onto the horse for its daily ride and the conversation that followed, holding babies, high 5's. I'll miss the smiles and giggles, the bright eyes and wonder that children naturally bring as they explore their world. I'll miss planning crafts, and watching the delight the kids had making them, I'll miss the noise and bustle of children and adults interacting with each other. I'll miss sharing life, our stories and experiences. Kids & I was all about community and it takes time to build a community; I feel we did it well. Moms, dads, grandparents, caregivers,and friends, what a great group you were. It wouldn't have been the same without each and every one of you. You made it a success. It's been an honour to get to know each one of you, you are all so special. Thank you for all the kind words, hugs, and gifts. Word can not express the gratitude I feel. You have touched my heart deeply, thank you.
