final banquet

Tonight my heart is full. We have finished the semester, had our final banquet, and said goodbye to the students. I am proud of how Richard  and I supported this community. And I feel affirmed from their kind words. My cup overfloweth.

It is true. The first couple of months moved slowly but after the EFT, I feel like I have blinked and the semester is over.
The students were so dear. They trusted us. They trusted us with their feelings, their emotions, and their hearts, and they let us into their lives. We learned about their fears, their failures, their triumphs, their families, their passions, and their dreams. Tonight I told them:

1. We will miss them.
2. We will faithfully pray for them.
3. We will never forget them.
