I found out where my twin ran off to.

He ran off to write me a goodbye letter.

Unfortunately for him the 3rd graders had to move desks and such today and by the time they were done, I'd gone home. One of the other departing teachers found him searching the school for me. So that teacher took the letter and brought it to our dinner.

Like I needed more reasons to cry. Like Mori sensei, the other dancing sensei, holding me and sobbing uncontrollably wasn't enough (I have promised to call her if I ever need anything,. She lives near me and she's helped me in the past when I was too sick to leave my home...she doesn't speak any English, but has appointed herself my Japanese mom)

My letter from My Twin says, in very very bad handwriting... in Japanese:

Kathryn Sensei,
Thank you for teaching me English. Your lessons were very fun. I most enjoyed fukuwarai, twister, and the make your original dance class. Please do your best at your next school.

-Yuuto.

For all of the thank you letters from students I got last week...today's letters from Akie and Sanae, the boy with the kitten, and my twin, were all 100% unprompted and unrequired...and thus, priceless.

I am gonna be so red-eyed tomorrow when I report in at city hall.

Oh, little kids ARE annoying. But, my students? Annoying in a way I've come to love.

And although these pictures are a year old, the twins are kinda runts so not THAT much has changed.

My twin is in orange, his twin is in cat ears.

That is just so very sweet. You've obviously made a difference to those kids and that is something to be so very proud of.
