Goodbyes and Keepsakes

On the last day of school, I was filled with some teary goodbyes..especially to the little ones in my class! Their sadness is so honest and plain. :( They may not know, but I am so grateful for all of the lessons that the children have taught me, too. I will never forget them, or have another class quite like them! I was lucky to receive some beautiful, authentic Korean gifts today as well as a keepsake! :)

 {An authentic china Korean tea set. Gorgeous! I've secretly always wanted one. Tea is a daily time in my house at home in the States, and it reminds me of this!}

Of course, we jotted our goodbyes on copies of the yearbook. I am so sentimental with hanging onto writing and seeing others' thoughts traded in writing; Reading their thoughts and thank you's reminds me that people remember and need even the smallest kindnesses. I will truly cherish it forever ! It's funny what people hang onto!


Warms my heart! There is no sense of accomplishment and love quite like teaching someone a little something they maybe didn't know before. Every person is a door to a new, hidden world..and what a cool exchange that has been. I'm proud to have been a part of it.
