I'm missing

I'm missing hearing my flip flops clunk down the blue, paint chipped stairs as I hear the sound of kids playing.

I'm missing walking into the kids classrooms and hearing them yell my name as they greet me with hugs.

I miss when Dulce would get home from school and the first thing she would do is
give me a hug and say hello.

I wish I had my arms wrapped around Eliza, just because she wanted some love.

I miss Valeria just stopping and giving me kisses and then going on with whatever she was doing.

I miss sitting in classrooms and having kids show Chiarina and I their crafts.

I miss when I wrote in Kitzia's notebook I gave her, just so she could always have me with her.

I'm missing when Alberto would just come sit by me.

I miss when Alex would come and ask for my camera, and I just couldn't say no to that smile.

I miss Jazmine just randomly telling me she loves me.

I miss Liza's face lighting up when I would walk into class.

I miss those kids. I miss waking up at 7:30 to go help with their class. I miss hugging them and holding them and giving kisses. I miss being with them, I miss how I feel when I'm with them. I miss the joy that I have when I'm there and loving those kiddos like Jesus would.

I can't wait to see them again.
