First tears.

i am leaving my current post at Easter taking up a job at a school for ASD boys. looking forward to the change but after 5 years I will find it hard to leave some of my pupils.
One said to me today 'you are really kind Miss' and I had to run off as the first tears started :(
I know this is the right choice for me (the students don't know I am leaving yet) but I will miss the relationships I have worked hard to establish.
How do I stop being a sobbing mess?

Don't worry about it, shows the kids you are a person.

No helpful tips about making leaving easier- but I also specialise in ASC/ challenging behaviour- feel free to pm me if you ever want to chat!
