Unexpected

I experienced an unexpected emotional response just now...

I walked over to the 3rd year classrooms where the 2nd years were finishing up the clean-up process before the end of the year (officially today!). All of a sudden I was hit by the sadness of it... even though I know the kids are really all graduated and gone... I half expected to see them goofing around their classrooms again. Yes, it might be weird... but it was really empty and sad going near those classrooms again. Until the classrooms get a massive makeover at the beginning of next term they're going to be a sad reminder of my kids who are gone.

At least I'm on vacation from today.
