Goodbye Marrdy

I have hesitated writing anything about this because I wasn't quite sure the best way to put how I feel into words.

Over the last few months I've seen a lot of my work family moved out of this branch. It was hard to say goodbye to them each, Tonya(Work big sister), Matt(Work big brother) and Brett(Work big brother), and I've missed having them around. I call them my family because I got to be really close to them all.

Marrdy and I on Halloween

Yesterday was Marrdy's last day at the branch that I work at.
She's being transferred to another branch.
Even though she's only a city away, I couldn't be more sad.

Marrdy and I showing Mama Kat that we're real.

Mama Marrdy is my work mom in every essence of the word. She really took care of me as if I was her daughter. She fed me when I was hungry, she comforted me when I was sad or upset, she was indignant with me when I was angry, she didn't judge me and my random and wild escapades and so much more. I just wanted to make sure she knows how much I appreciate her taking care of me and treating me like an equal. It means a lot to me.

Marrdy's last day!

I don't want to say much else, because I don't want to bore anyone.
Marrdy, I'll miss you.
Good luck at your new branch!

Curious about nutty stories, I clicked through and read the story. Knowing Marrdy would be interested, I shared it with her. She likes to talk to herself so all of the sudden I hear her say, "Joyce McKinney? Isn't that the one that.... Oh my gosh!"
Silence...
"Oh my gosh! Kirk!"
Silence...
"Oh my gosh! I know them! I have to call Jane!"
Then she proceeds to have a lengthy conversation with Jane about this article.
