Heart Warming Email
"Big-E"'s Mom to me
Hi Whitney,
I got your note to send my email address if I wanted your pics of "Big-E". Unfortunately, I missed the part of your note to send my email the next day! I had the paper with your note in front of the computer, where "Big-E" found it this weekend & brought it to me, I read it again & thought, Oh no! I want those pictures!!
So I understand if you have already gotten rid of said-pics, but I would love copies of them if you still have them.
I hope you had a great weekend. We so miss not seeing you in the mornings & afternoons. It was such a difficult decision to switch "Big-E"'s school. I wanted to explicitly tell you that our decision has absolutely nothing to do with you; in fact, you have kept us from moving forward on our decision for about 4 months (however long you've been at Miss LeAndra's). We found this school when "Big-E"'s last teacher was there & then we delayed it when we met you. So I just wanted to make sure you knew that. You are amazing, Whitney. With the kids, with the parents, all the way around. You are someone, I feel, who has truly found their calling. You will touch many children's lives through your career & we feel extremely fortunate that you were able to teach and love "Big-E" all these months. You have played a big part in why he is as sweet & advanced as we feel he is!! :-)
I'm not sure when "Big-E" will be back to daycare this week. We had to go to Peds After Hours yesterday because "Big-E" was wheezing and having difficulty breathing; they're afraid he has pneumonia again, and he has a double ear infection. :-( That stinking runny nose he got on Friday developed into this. Boo!! I will keep you posted after we go to his dr today.
I hope you had/have a good Monday. Take care,
"Big-E"'s Mom

This email is an example of something that I cannot even put into words. It warmed my heart and gave me a lot of confidence in my abilities as an educator. A lot of times when I doubt myself I know that I will look at this email and feel warm and completely fuzzy.
Thank you =) And to note I love "Big-E" no matter where he goes. He is part of my very first class as a teacher.
