This past weekend was my favorite weekend so far. We celebrated Mother's Day beginning last Thursday with a special dinner hosted by the male directors. Friday morning, we celebrated with a breakfast in the school. But, the best part was Friday night.
My girls kicked me and the other two encargadas I work with out of the section immediately after dinner. They said they had work to do and we would be welcome back inside the section in a little bit.
A few hours later when we were allowed back inside...the girls greeted us with the traditional celebration song, Las Mananitas, presents, a card and decorations. They had also put together an entire presentation about how grateful they were to have us as their mothers. We were treated to choreographed dances and at the end of it all our own dance in the section. It was so sweet and I was really humbled that they had put in that much effort for us. I didn't realize before the importance of my role in their lives and I didn't realize before how much of a mother I really am. I feel really grateful to have them in my life. I think that the longer I am here, the more I feel that I am receiving just as much as I am giving.
Peace
