Today was my last day at La Obra. We had a goodbye party with cake, kids gave me cards with lots of glitter, we played games, it was a great time. At one point, one of the kids asked me, half-jokingly, why I was leaving. I told her that I missed my family in the United States. She replied "but you have family here!" She was right.
Many people have asked me what this year has meant to me and although I am still figuring out how to express that (in English or Spanish) I am starting to see how, in the midst of starting to say many goodbyes, my "family" got a lot larger this year!
