Big changes have come to Kids Country Club Cambridge. For those of you that have been with us for some time, many of you will know our resident Aiyana. As the month of May comes to a close, so will her time at KCC. Aiyana will be moving on to her forever home and will be so dearly missed by staff and management alike. Many of our staff have had the privilege to watch Aiyana grow up from a little girl to the woman she is now. Over the years, all the staff that have worked at KCC have formed a bond with this very special lady. But now, it’s time for her to go and form new bonds and memories with the staff at her new home. 

With all that being said, I wanted to share some of our favourite photos of Aiyana from her time here at Kids Country Club. As well, some of our staff and management have also provided some going away messages to be included. 

• Aiyana was a pleasure to work with. I am so so proud of how far she has come & can not wait to hear about her exciting new adventures. If you are reading this Aiyana, please know that we will miss you dearly around here ♡ Simona PSW

• Aiyana the first day I met you in 2015 I remember thinking what a cute little girl with a gorgeous smile. Somehow in these last few years you have turned into a beautiful young lady, I love your sweet spirit and that gorgeous smile remains . I wish you the very best in this exciting journey, have fun, make friends and remember you will always hold a special place at KCC. Big Hugs Sherry Groulx ED

• Aiyana, I always looked forward to your smiling face and silly jokes when coming to work at KCC. Although I will miss you immensely, I’m so excited for you to take on this new journey- what a big accomplishment! You’ll have to make sure you FaceTime the house... we’ll need someone to help keep the kids in line! Much love, Katie DSW

• I have thoroughly enjoyed working with you over the last 9 years at KCC. You have made me grow as a person and a nurse. I will always cherish our times we spent together whether it was going on outings, shopping, appointments or even at the house. We definitely had some fun excursions! You are a smart, compassionate and caring individual who I've seen blossom from that sassy teenager into a respectful young woman. This goodbye definitely doesn't come easy. Dr. Seuss once said " Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." Wishing you all the best, Heather RPN

• Aiyana, you have made my days at KCC that much more special! I will certainly miss seeing you, but I am also truly excited, because I know this is going to be so amazing for you! I can’t wait to hear all about the fun you have and the friends you make! Let’s not say “goodbye”, but instead, “Talk to you soon!” Hugs & Best wishes – Corie AA 😊

• I'm going to miss seeing your smile every time I walk into KCC. Sunbeam is so lucky to have you as their new resident. Wishing you all the best as you settle into your new home. Try to not get into too much trouble 😉. - Patricia RPN

• Aiyana, I wish you so much happiness in your new home. It’s going to be great for you. I will treasure all our laughs and fun times together. I’m honoured to have been a part of your years at KCC, to see you grow into a fine young woman. You’re beautiful both inside and out. I will miss you. Hugs and Best wishes, Sharon D. PSW 😊

Since I am the author (so long as management doesn’t change it ha-ha) I get the final word. 

• Aiyana, it’s weird to have to finally say goodbye to you. To be honest, I’m not entirely sure how to put it into words correctly. You have been such an integral part of the Cambridge home that the thought of you not being there doesn’t feel right. Even when you would go to school, it was weird to not hear your concentrator humming in the background. With everything changing it is going to be not only a transition for you, but for us as well. But, I know I can rest easy knowing that you are going to a wonderful place and that so long as you are open to it, you are going to thrive more than you know. Always know that you will forever be a part of our lives. 

Farewell, dear friend,

The OG Nicole H, RPN (yep, more than one now), and ALL current and former Kids Country Club staff
