There is a beautiful expression in Spanish, “Hasta Siempre”. It means until always. I was once told by a professor to replace the sorrow of goodbye with the comfort of “Hasta Siempre”.
In just a couple of days, one of our fabulous 4th graders is moving and embarking on a new journey. I am so thrilled for her family and what the future holds for them. However, like many of the students, I too will miss her dearly. Even though, as a teacher, I watch my students move on each year, I am never quite prepared to say goodbye. Goodbye sounds so final. Goodbye feels like a loss. It is sometimes hard to say goodbye. This week, I will remind my students that although my path might never physically cross with my students again, I like them to know that they are always with me. Please take a moment to inquire how your child feels about seeing a friend go and feel free to give them the words, “Hasta Siempre”.
