Meaning of 'despido'

Hello
I've had a letter from a little girl I sponsor in Peru. She ends by writing 'y me despido con un abrazo muy fuerte'.
As far as I know, 'despido' means 'dismissal', so I'm confused as to what she means.
In English, is it something like 'I leave you with ...'?
Thank you in advance for any help.

Me despido = I say goodbye / I am saying goodbye
In English it is something like: '...and I am sending you a very big hug.' = ...'y me despido con un abrazo muy fuerte'.
The infinitve is despedirse = to say goodbye
Conjugation of the verb despedirse (the present simple tense):
(yo) me despido
(tú) te despides
(él/ella/Usted) se despide
(nostros /-as) nos despedimos
(vostros/ -as) os despedís
(ellos/ellas/Ustedes) se despiden
