Be You

Last week I went to our monthly parent meeting for school, this time instead of a meeting it was our winter social.  It was a nice have time to chat with the other parents and teachers.
One mom came up to me and said how she'd just been telling teacher Kylene how much her daughter loves Georgia, Kylene's response, everybody loves Georgia!  Later as I was saying goodbye to Kylene I told her how much you love going to school, she said, "Oh, I love Georgia, everyone loves Georgia.. and she loves EVERYONE!
I was taken a back in that moment, remembering those questions from doctors.. "how do you think she'll do without you?" "Does she have a hard time being away from you since you've been with her the whole time in the hospital?"
I knew on your first day of school last year when you walked into a room full of kids you didn't know and didn't even turn around to say goodbye that you'd be just fine.  You're you.  You are a good friend, you love to give hugs and notice if someone isn't at school.  You draw your friends pictures and genuinely love being a friend to your friends.  On the first day of school this year, you asked a friend if she missed someone who'd moved away, you knew this had been a special person to her.
It's pretty remarkable, to see your kindness, empathy and social skills, all things that come to you naturally.  If ever you doubt yourself, which you will do, just remember to be you, it's a very powerful thing.
