Sometimes I love my job.

Date January 5, 2010

I rounded the corner onto the third grade hall this morning and stopped.  There, sitting quietly against the wall were nineteen brown faces.  Each in turn looked up and smiled at me– the kind of smile that asks, “Did you miss me?  Are you glad I’m back?’

I stifled a giggle and perhaps a tear or two before I opened up my arms.  In three seconds flat we were one muddled hug of third grade love.
