2022/ 11/1提出辭呈，主管們很沒有為難的在短短4天內答應，7天內在辭呈上順利蓋章。心中對於主管們的不為難是感謝的，雖然連會談的過程都被省略有一點點稍稍的失落阿，哈哈讓我沒機會說出官方理由。
現在不是負責社工的工作，但手上較多是屬於對外關係的部分，需要較多時間去處理我即將辭職後關係的交代，本以為自己會是輕鬆的，但卻一直感覺到自己內在情緒的混亂，很多可以快速處理的事情自己一直拖延著，剛開始不清楚這是什麼狀況，終於在今天確定公主寶寶離院的日子時，快速製作她的卡片時，我懂了....我決定提前寫出這封給我的志工與週末寄養家庭志工的一封信：
親愛的愛慈寶寶中心的志工們：
我是你們一直以來的窗口Lily，你們一定不陌生，即使不常看到我，但至少參加志工說明會或是週末寄養家庭會談時我們會互相認識加Line，我知道終究會有這麼一天，只是我一直不知道這一天何時會到來，其實我沒想到我自己會對這群寶寶們如此掛心，但...是的，這一天真的到來了，Lily我要向各位說再見了！
本來不該這麼早跟大家說的，但我是非常在意這一群對於愛慈寶寶無私付出的你們，我是真的很想跟你們好好說再見，所以我決定好好寫出這一封：Goodbye letter....
Lily在愛慈寶寶中心的工作預計將會到2023年1月底，真的很開心在愛慈的10年多的工作生涯中認識了大家，你們因為喜愛寶寶選擇愛慈寶寶中心作為您們志工的場域，寶寶們因為你們的陪伴更活潑也更發展自我的個性，而我自己從一個害怕寶寶的單身女性，走到現在可以餵他們吃飯、幫他們換尿布、不怕大便味，更可以與他們關在一個空間中，甚至最近還經常與寶寶一對一的在愛慈五樓進行靈魂的交流啊！我們都在陪伴寶寶的過程中看到生命的奇蹟與生命的恩典，我想這是我們共同的體會的！
目前機構尚未確認相關接手的人員，待一確認 我將會盡快讓各位知道，也請大家持續要來寶寶中心陪伴他們歐！
對了，若是你們有想要回饋給Lily的隻字片語，也可以私訊讓我知道，其中也包括建議歐！
將以Lily最近很喜歡的一段話作為這封信的結尾：
再見，不是再也不見
我們終將在某地相見

Dear Volunteers at the Garden of Mercy Baby Center,
Hi! I am your person of contact Lily. Even though you don’t see me all the time, you might be familiar with me. Especially during our volunteer explanatory briefings and weekend foster family meetings, where we exchange Line and got to know one another. I always knew that someday I will leave this place, I just did not know when. Honestly I had no idea that I would be so attached to these babies. Unfortunately, this day is here. Lily is saying goodbye to you all.
I care deeply for all of you, every volunteer at the Center who sacrifices selflessly for our precious babies. That is why I wanted to write this letter, a chance to say a proper goodbye.
My job here at the Center will terminate at the end of January 2023. I am very happy that I got to know every single one of you through the 10 plus years here. You chose this place as your place of volunteer because of your love for babies. And as a result, these babies grew up vibrant, happy and full of personalities. At the same time, I have also grown. From a single woman who was afraid of babies, to one who can change diapers, feed them food, not afraid of poop and be completely comfortable being locked in the same room. I even had a spiritual interaction with one of them on the 5th floor recently. We are all witnessing life’s miracle and grace through the care of these babies. I think it is something we all share and appreciate deeply.
At this time, there is still no confirmation on my replacement, but as soon as I know, you will too. Please continue to come to the Baby Center to accompany them!
By the way, if you would like to share a few words with Lily, please private message me. Suggestions are also appreciated. Thank you!
I would like to end with a recent quote that I like very much:
Love, Lily~
