A Love That Knocked Me Off My Feet

I literally fell down. After saying goodbye about five times and inching towards the door, one of my preschool students ran up to hug me. I was trying to leave, but one blink later a stampede of kids swarmed around and embraced me tightly. They squeezed me so tight that my knees eventually buckled. All of the kids continued to hug me as I was lying on the floor and wouldn’t let me up. They were relentless and simply didn’t want me to leave.

Some days I would be so stoked that I would want to go ASAP but other days I would rather just crawl into bed and pretend it was already August.
