Bubba Arthur,
What a sweet boy you are. You have made ministry for me this month. Every day, as I walk through that wanky red fence, I hope to see your puppy dog eyes waiting on the other side. Greeted by 20+ kids shouting, I am most delighted with your hello hug. You might not stay in my class room for the whole 3 hours (because you sneak over to snuggle with teacher Logan) but the moments I do get to see you are my favorite moments.
By lunch time, you waddle your way back over to me, with an open mouth ready for me to spoon feed you with your over filled lunch.
After lunch is my favorite time spent with you: Nap time. As you lay down in my arms, sucking your two middle fingers I fall in love. What a sweet and innocent face you have. I rub the bridge of your nose and hum you a soft melody. I feel your little heart beating, and I can feel your lungs wheezing (I think you have asthma little one). Slowly, you fade away and you’re fast asleep.Then I lay you down on a sleeping mat stored in the back kitchen of the school. Goodnight little guy.
Once you wake, you again bounce from class to class and we get to play games with you and get to hold you (my favorites). Although, then comes my least favorite part of ministry, saying “milo (tomorrow, known as see you tomorrow).” You are the light of my day bud, and I’m more thankful for you than you’ll ever know.
Love,
Teacher Marley
P.s Can I adopt you?
