"It's not moving on. It's not letting go. It's remembering the good .
It's cherishing those memories."

This past weekend was bittersweet. It was my last shift at work before leaving for 5 months. I absolutely LOVE my job. I don't think a lot of people can say that. I work as a caregiver for a man who has a developmental disability. He brings so much joy to my day that going to work actually makes me happier. I took him to visit his family this weekend which made it so much harder to quit. They were so nice, caring, and funny. They made me feel so welcome in their house that I almost felt like a part of their family.  It was such a good feeling to know that I was the one who brought them all together - I was happy that I could make everyone so happy. So when my shift ended Sunday night, I was a little sad. I even had to hold back tears. The trip was really good but made leaving that much harder. I don't know if I will ever have the opportunity to work with such an incredible guy! All in all, I am thankful for the experiences I had with him and the patience and laughter he has taught me to retain.
