I am sure all of us would be thrilled if the parents each gave us a card with a sincere thank you for all we do. I have been fortunate to receive a few of these and everytime I read them I feel joy and reenergized for this profession. A heartfelt message takes only a few moments to write and even if it is on a dollar store card it is a priceless gift to us who put our hearts into the care of their kiddies.

Spixie33, you made me laugh. One year I received 2 gift cards to the LCBO (adult refreshment store for those not in Ontario) and I thought the same thing.......do I look like I need a drink? The parents said if they had my job, they would be knocking back a few in the evening.
