She was a gal from my class who hung out with me at lunch to do math, that she didn’t like to do :) Over time we got to know each other quite well. In September of 2007 , my brother passed away. One day a few days after he died there was a knock at my door. When I saw this beautiful girl, with a huge bouquet in her arms, crying for me and my loss, it just took my breath away. I will never forget opening the door and us hugging on my step, ever. Today she’s a mom, and has moved on out of my classroom. I will always remember that moment and the many other moments that we shared. I’m so lucky to have been a part of her life. Xox
