So it's conference week here at Centennial, the school where I teach 5th Grade. Having to conference with all of the parents gives me great joy, but its very tiring, too. On top of that, having to tell each family what's going on, and that I will be out for 2 weeks due to my surgery is, to say the least, a bit draining. I have not cried for days, and had to let it out yesterday afternoon for a bit...it just comes upon me, and I have to let it out...
My staff I work with is amazing...they had "pink" ribbon bagels for me yesterday in the staff room with a special note that said "We are with you all the way, Kirstin" - it was so special:) AND, they are all going to wear pink next Wed., the day before I go into surgery. I am so lucky to be surrounded by so much love and support - parents offering to make meals for my family, take care of my kids...it's very cool, very humbling.
I'm sure that everything happens for a reason, but this one may take me a while to figure out. I feel strong, nervous, supported and loved, and am so grateful for all of the blessings I have in my life.
