Today was the hard day

Today was the day full of tears. I worked from 11am to 7:30pm but it was Kim's final day with us. She is moving to Omaha to care for her mother-in-law and it is hard to see her go. She has been a mentor, an aunt to my kids and a very close friend. She gave me a job right after I lost my job I had for 2 years and made me remember what it is like to enjoy my job. I haven't enjoyed a job as much as I do this one since I had my own business. Kim is much more than a boss to me and the family. She counted with Bullfrog while swinging him around, talked to Peanut when she had a rough day, and listened to my hard days. She was one I could count on to know what I was going through and go out of her way to help me maintain a schedule I needed to care for my kids and make it to meetings. She is going to be greatly missed and I feel the next few weeks may be a blur. The worst part about it is there is only going to be a month before we will go through this all again as we lose another manager. *Sigh* If I don't talk to many people or act a little aloof, I apologize. I just am not really enthusiastic right now as I adjust to losing a dear friend.
