Good-Bye, La Rosa!

Today was Áine Clare's last day at La Rosa.
The Madigan Family has spent many happy years at this beautiful school filled with beautiful people. We started with Ciara in September 2003 whose first day of school was 2 days after Áine's hemispherectomy. Áine joined her in late 2006 and they overlapped for a year before Ciara moved on to Nativity and Áine stayed on.
Until today.

Wonderful things are on the horizon for Áine no doubt. But I cannot express how madly in love withe La Rosa I am. It is a living embodiment of the word community. The people there collectively and singularly are some of the best on the planet.

Ms. Melisa has been Áine's aide for a while and a more perfect match you could not find. The tremendous comfort and relief as a mother I had leaving Áine in her care every day is a gift I have never taken for granted. We will miss seeing her smiling face every day!




Ms. Roxanna, Áine Clare, and Ms. Wu
These wonderful ladies are the tag team that took on Miss Áine Clare this year.
Along with Ms. Melisa they make for a mighty trio.
Their willingness to blend Áine into their class is extraordinary.
Ms. Roxanna has been part of our family for a long time. She started working with Áine in our home as a visual impairment specialist before Áine was three. Because of her, Áine was able to attend our local school, La Rosa, and have an incredible jump start to her educational life.

It is wonderful to see how blessed you both were by your experiences with these teachers. I'm sure they love the both of you as much as you both love them. :o) I pray the next set of teachers will be equally as special as the ones you are leaving behind.
