as i put michael in his car after school today, his mom said that my director would speak to my regarding the meeting she had with michael's future school. i was quite apprehensive, as i thought through different reasons why my director would be talking to me about it instead of his mom. my director and i walked through the hallway to her office and she told me, i would be staying at st. george's this next year. the family was not able to make the arrangements for next year that would have been most suitable for both me and michael. it would be too big of a risk for me to go with him.
whereas i am relieved to finally know what i will be doing, i am quite heart broken that i won't be able to see my special little buddy everyday. over the school year, michael has become more than just the child i assist, he has become my friend. i know it may seem silly to have a seven year old friend, but michael is amazing. he has taught me about loving unconditionally and about perseverance. i will miss all the hugs, laughter, joy, all the silly moments, and his love. even if i have to get on to him, he will just look at me and smile, and almost instantly forgive me. he still loves. and i hope that i have has as big of an impact on him that he has had on me.
i can only hope after the school year that i can maintain my friendship with my little buddy. i am going to miss him so much.
