Well my closet, drawers and shelves are all cleared out and a bit dusty. I've taken my things off the walls and anything that was around the Stephens' house. Why do I feel sad to leave?

Oh I remember... it's because I'll miss Kierstin's cheerful and tiny voice calling my name from down the hall or up the stairs. "Winny? Winny?! *gasp* Winny!!! Cum'on Winny!!" Then we'd be off to see Diego, get some yogurt to eat together, or she had something to show me that she'd discovered and thought it to be the most amazing thing in the world.
It's because I'll miss it when Trevor just wants to sit on my lap to suck his thumb and play with his hair. He twists the spot of hair that's right on top of his head and by the time he's done, it sticks straight up.
It's because I'll miss Talen when he randomly runs or walks up to me saying my name sweetly, then giving me a big hug. He had such a big smile.
It's because I'll miss Tommy and all those times where I'd just sit and listen because all he wanted was for someone to listen to whatever he had to say. Sometimes it was about dinosaurs and paleantology, or Pokemon, Bakugon, or Yugio. It really could have been anything. He just needed to know he mattered. It's because I'll miss Danae and all those times that we've found something to just laugh about, or when we've talked and talked about all sorts of things.
Yes, I guess I can say that I'll miss these silly kids. I hope life continues to treat them well and that they'll always remember that they are each a precious child of God with great potential.
