The sweetest story

The first story I have to share is a sweet story rather than a funny. A few days before preschool started my cousin and her daughters made a surprise visit to my classroom. I had Grace in my class 2 years ago and Ruby last year. This will be the first year without seeing my love bugs EVERY DAY for two years. It really does make my heart sad. Anyways, Katie and I were chatting as the girls patiently stood and had a look around the room. After a few minutes, Grace interrupts our conversation by randomly blurting out to no one in particular, "It's like your dreams came true." Katie asked her what she meant and she responded, "Aunt Teri! It's like her dreams came true!" Katie and I both looked at her puzzled and asked again what she meant. Grace explained to me, "I remember you told me a long time ago you dreamed of becoming a teacher and now you have your own classroom. It's like your dreams came true." She said it so sweet and innocently, with so much thought, care and excitement. She realized something that had never even occurred to me. This is why I love her more than I could ever explain...Yes Grace, this has been a dream of mine and it has come true!
