Lifting Guilt

Well, heard yesterday that they hired someone for the second social worker position here...just in time for me to leave. She won't arrive for a few weeks so I will be gone when she gets here. We had a long chat on the phone and she sounds very promising. Now my guilt about leaving the community without a social worker is lifting...phew.

She's coming out of a very northern community, so this will be nothing new and likely quite a bit warmer. The community members have been very good at telling me they will miss me, and that they think I was the best social worker they've had...awww...so I hope they give her as warm a welcome when she gets here.

Now I can continue with my own plans and shake off the rest of the guilt...
