you inspire me

dear little buddy,

i cannot believe our time is over;

these past few months have gone by far too quickly. you have changed a great deal.

i remember our first visit - you barely spoke to me.

i remember another early visit when you cried because you were upset with yourself.

i remember trying to comfort you - you jumped away. 

i remember talking in depth about our favorite foods, treats, and songs on the radio.

i remember when you showed me your dance moves to every justin bieber song.

i remember laughing over silly things that happened throughout your day.

i remember when you told me you were leaving - 

moving on to bigger and better things.

i remember asking if i could hug you on our last visit, and you said yes :) 

i hope you remember me, 

as you have touched my life in so many ways. 

you inspire me.

i wish you the best of luck as you enter your new home, new school, and find new friends to surround yourself with. i will miss you!
