To my student who just moved: I will miss you. You are a great kid, and I believe you will grow into a fine young man. I will miss your warm, quick smile, your efforts to do your best, every day, and the kindness you brought to the room. From clues I hear, your family life may be a little bumpy. My wish for you is that you take that goodness in your heart and let it heal you when you need, and you know that you will be missed.

Godspeed, young man – may life give you back the kindness you give others.
