so unnoticed
I thought I had passed under the radar unnoticed, just drifting through life. Apparently it seems I have touched and inspired many people. So many people were so sad to see me go today. I had so many cards and presents, and someone even commented that in all their 25 years at the bank, I must have affected the most amount of people, and that I had the most cards/gifts that she had seen. In a way I feel guilty that so many people looked up to me, admired me, and relied upon me. I feel cruel for letting them become dependent on me, and even worse for letting people believe that I was something that I think I am most certainly not. I was a friend to those who didn't have many, and my departure is a big loss to them. I took time out to be nice to eveyone, and create a special bond with most, as I believed a good working relationship with my colleagues would improve the atmosphere and make them more approachable when I needed help. I always took work off others with no questions asked. I made life difficult for myself, so others would have it easier.....and I thought that no one noticed...but they did, and they showed it today. Today must have been one of the hardest days of my life. I'm losing so much, yet I have to look ahead to what I shall gain. There will always be a job waiting for me their, with people willing to work with me. It feels like I'm losing part of my family. Since the beginning of the year, I was spending up to 10 hours a day at work...a big part of my waking hours, and so naturally firendships build with the people you are surrounded with all the time. I'm going to miss everyone so dearly. I feel like writing everyone emails to thank them for their kindness toward me...I honestly did not think I deserved it.

Do you rememember your 18th at RGHS and the surprise party that no one had every had. You touch many lives and will continue to do so, because you are a remarkable and very special person. Take a little time for yourself this year Kat, because you deserve it. I shall miss you because I have watched you change from a rather gauche young girl into beautiful young woman. And that beauty is not just the cover, the contents are even better. Take care and I hope that this first chapter of your new life is a good one, full of interesting anecdotes and happy memories.
