Special Exposure Wednesday: Saying Good-Bye

The Board of Education voted to close Ben's school for next academic year. The teachers and staff have been wonderful to our family, treating Ben with love, care and respect. It will be sad to say good-bye to all these people prematurely.

    What would we do without all the wonderful people who have helped our children along since they were tiny? It IS hard to say goodbye . . .

    Oh what a shame. It is always hard to say good-bye, but particularly when it is to people who really 'get' your family.

After I learned about this, life with children made a lot more sense to me.
