One of the last

Today was one of the colder days that I can remember out at recess. The cold wasn't a factor however though. The little ones ran and ran and had a great time. Zack, a little first grader that i have grown close to throughout the year came up to me and i asked him how his day was going and he asked me the same. I brought up that i only have one more week at recess with him and I was shocked when it seemed to ruin his play time. In this split second i realized that he had became some what close to me as well. He was so sad and told me he was going to miss me a lot. Then his big question came out "Will you still come say hi"? This tore me apart inside and so I promised him i would be back. It shocked me how close we have became but yet he was 14 years younger then me. After this event at recess it touched me so much that, even though they are young these little ones do truly look up to us.
