I can’t begin to tell you how happy I am. If there is one good thing that Facebook has done for me personally, I will say that it happened today. I was reunited with two special girls in my life. Two students who tried me out of my wits as a teacher some years ago, but gave me the best feelings at the end of each class day. Two girls who touched me in so many ways you can never imagine (“Teacher Clarisse, I love you more than you love me!”), escaped with me to the wonderland that was paradise for the child in me — dancing with fireflies when all we had were yellow paper dots tied to our fingers with strings and the classroom CD player. They laughed with me, cried with me, whispered little secrets in my ear. And hugged me like I was the most important person in the world — when truthfully, they were the most important people in the world, to me. So many years have passed…has it been 7 years? I’ve always wondered how they’ve been, with us spread out in our different corners of the world. Today, I got my answers. Oh how much they’ve grown! I reveled in new photos and now await more stories of their adventures following the ones we started in Kindergarten.
Eve, Caroline, this gratitude journal entry is for you!!!
