the best assistant ever....

my little world has been rocked! my assistant and friend maria's last day was today and it hit me like a ton of bricks when i found out...today. as much as i wanted to beg her to stay i couldn't since she is going to pursue her life long dream of becoming a hair stylist. she was informed yesterday night that she was accepted at a cosmetology school she applied to a year ago, and school starts next week, monday morning at 8:00 a.m. i took the news very hard and cried like a baby, and i am sure there will be more tears when she leaves for the day. maria is such a wonderful woman and I have grown to truly love and appreciate her. i'm going to miss her, and let's not forget how much the kids and sadie love her. maria is one of the few people that i 100% trust with sadie, she is basically sadie's second mom. we both cried as we discussed the details of her new adventure. I told her that i was proud of her, and that i was happy that she is pursuing her dream. but I can't help being a little selfish in wanting her to stay. it was an answer to my prayers when maria started working for me. we promised that we would keep in touch and she agreed to babysit sadie for hubby and I when we need a sitter. now i will have to make-up reasons to use a sitter on the weekends so sadie will have time with her maria.

we will miss you Maria. it was a pleasure and blessing to work with you. thank you for loving the children as much as you do.
Maria with some of the kids we care for.
