I think what Lisa said brought something out of me now as i read this thread.
I have this pre-school girl, whom i taught art to at a local artschool. She'll always be in my heart "The Koala" because everytime before she starts her art class, she'll hug her mom, legs up and all like a koala bear! Then the last time i saw her, she and her toddler little sister wrapped around my legs before they left for home!
That hug left me missing her for a long time that she stopped coming for class. Last Saturday she came back! And my, has she grown taller! Somehow, i suddenly had that notion in me, "Please koala, don't grow up...i want this moment forever..." I hope i don't stick around the art school to see her through Primary 6 - or twelve years old (i dunno what grade will she be in the US ed. system)
God...i feel sucky now...
