Saying Goodbye

Saying goodbye to people you love (and who equally love you) is really really hard. 

Nancy’s had her last day at the nursery yesterday because from next Monday she will be going to the pre-school. It was an emotional day for all of us. Colleen (Nancy’s teacher) and my wife started crying in the middle of a sentence and couldn’t go on. And she still crying at the dinner table when spoke to me about it.

It has been a year and a half since Nancy started at the nursery. It has been challenging along the way for all of us. But knowing there is someone you can trust certainly make the whole process a lot of easier. To Nancy, she needed someone she could trust and rely onto as well and she certainly got that from the nursery.

One of the many advantages of starting kindy early is the opportunities to interact with other children. Being the only child at home, Nancy certainly got the idea of sharing, caring and playing with others. Other activities like painting, drawing certainly helps her to explore her artistic potential and the list goes on and on. We glad that the nursery provided all the opportunities.

The Chinese proverb says “there is no everlasting banquet”. As much as we love Nancy to stay in the most comfortable environment, we also like her to explore the world and life more. Saying goodbye is hard, but we also looking forward to the future. Thank you everyone for helping Nancy along the way, we deeply appreciate it.
