There was a great deal of wonderfulness in this past week. My son's show-off day at The Little Gym. Hubby's graduation. But what REALLY brought be tremendous happiness was one major thing: appreciation.
Hubby is about to start a new job. He's moving from teacher and assistant Head of Middle School to a Head of School position. And he's 29. We've had some amazing things happen where we both work now (and met), and well, he's always the one who throws the thoughtful goodbyes to the retiring teachers and such.
This time, someone did it for him. I got to be a part of a surprise assembly with the entire Middle School, and I witnessed how much these students love and respect him. And THAT made me giddy with gladness.
Everyone likes to be appreciated. Hubby is the least egotistical male I have ever met. And he has his moments. But this was humbling to him. We had some people from the past come out (former teachers and workers), and family. Then there was a slide show. Then came the 8th grade drama class skit...ALL ABOUT HIM. Then he was given a trophy.
It was really, really necessary and VERY special. Seeing how hard he has worked, I was just so happy to see him really be honored. He got MANY standing ovations, and here's the pic of one of the many.
What a wonderful day.
