So, yesterday was my tear jerker day, but it ended on an amazing note. As previously stated, saying goodbye is the hardest part of moving on for me. One of kids said I don't want to say goodbye, but instead, see ya later. I was like I can roll with that. I had so many of my parents tell me how much of a difference they have seen in their kids since they started working with me and it pierced my heart that I am so definitely on the right path of being a counselor. Today only reaffirmed the pa of my career (DSS days) when I crossed paths with one of my old cases. I took jordan for her outpatient surgery today and one of the nurses came in and she caught my attention as knowing her (I thought she was my cousin actually) but I didn't call out on it once I realized it wasn't my cousin. After the first nurse left, she turns to me before she leaves and ask "do you still work at DSS?" And I respond with no and she looks at me and said good. Then she ask if I remember her and I admitted she reminded me of my cousin. She said do you remember J and T and immediately it clicked. I was her foster care caseworker that helped her adopt her two sons, one of which was in several of skyler's classes from more at 4 through 5th grade. I was stunned. She turned to Jordan and starts telling Jordan how I helped her adopt he son's and I laughed because I was like Jordan was there to in the court part of it. We updated each other on the kids and then she left. Before Jordan was being checked out she share the story with her coworker who was going through a similar situation with her grandchild and Jordan and I just sat there talking to her and giving her some suggestions and wishing her well. My old mom looks at me and says I will never forget you, you are imprinted on my heart and will always be a part of our family. I cried 😭😭😭😭. I was so touched by her words and meanings. It just reaffirmed that I really am making a difference in Someone's life in the job I am doing. I was truly humbled today by that experience.
