Just before the weekend one of my students came up to me and hugged me around the legs and said "Mrs Farrell, I know you're not my mum, but Happy Mother's Day anyway". Day made.
When I was looking for an image to go with this post I realised it was the same little girl who made me this card a couple of years ago. I have it framed on my bookcase to remind me that I can make a big difference in a child's life - even if I can't have my own children.
Thanks Emily!
