This past week has been a lot harder than I expected it to be. I have been serving in the Young Woman's program for 6 years and I was getting kind of burnt out. So it was no surprise to me that we were getting released. What did surprise me was how empty I felt on Sunday as they released us. I cried most of the day. I guess it comes down to this. You serve those girls for 6 years. You pray for them, you plan things for them, you are with them on Sunday, Tuesday, and other special occasions. Then suddenly you no longer get that association. I really feel like I just lost 30+ daughters. Those girls just become part of your life. They will always be my girls, I just won't get to spend quite as much time with them. However, I am extremely grateful for the love, kindness, and the examples they have shown me. They are truly a light in my life. Thank you to all those that I got to serve and those that I got to serve with. You will forever be in my heart!!
