Perspective adjustment

Paul's impending departure date left me feeling sad.  Then the following conversation took place in my first grade class.







Frank: When you take Mr. Paul to the airport you will cry?





                                          Me: Probably.





Beatrice: Why?




Me: Because when you care about someone and you have to say goodbye it is     sad because you will miss them.






Maurin: When my mom died I would cry in bed at night because I missed her.

    We are teachers, but we're also here to learn, aren't we? Good post, lots to think about.
