It was so comforting to see her friendly face and hear her kind words.

I remember several, but not in the kind of way that I would want to look them up and tell them thank you. And then, I remembered two in high school. They were friends. They knew I had moved out of the house and they were worried I would drop out. They must have talked and made a plan because one or the other would find me every day and check in on me. They would find me in the halls or stop in at my work.<br /><br />I think I'll go see if I can find either of them in the great big socal network now.<br /><br />Thanks for the inspiration!mCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16252684152629825538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-868710073251050332.post-8670003649001362782011-05-17T17:25:25.642-06:002011-05-17T17:25:25.642-06:00What a beautiful post.

He was my Mrs. Frizzell. I'm sure Mrs. Frizzell would be proud of the teacher you have become and you are passing on her legacy.JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04899036015224930405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-868710073251050332.post-4266511052682863952011-05-17T16:56:33.402-06:002011-05-17T16:56:33.402-06:00After reading this I decided to look for my favori...After reading this I decided to look for my favorite teacher on Facebook and found her! She must have just joined because she didn't have much on her page yet. I wrote her a note of appreciation and told her why she meant so much to me. I've wanted to do that for years.

Soon after we had been in contact, she died of cancer. She didn't want Rob or his mom to tell me, she had told them about it and had them keep it secret, since I found her right before my wedding, she didn't want to drop a "downer" on me. I was crushed when I found out a few months later that she had passed away. I feel your pain. I'm sure your teacher knew she had a good impact on you.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06825602177314310172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-868710073251050332.post-34779518547896109422011-05-17T08:01:07.967-06:002011-05-17T08:01:07.967-06:00I once had a teacher like that.I once had a teacher like that.Oilfield Trashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00527580828815598952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-868710073251050332.post-57929094040140744012011-05-17T07:52:43.285-06:002011-05-17T07:52:43.285-06:00It does seem that when we hear about a loss like t...It does seem that when we hear about a loss like this it takes just a little piece of our hearts, doesn't it?Caution/Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11172990197662644455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-868710073251050332.post-59863207182418967552011-05-17T07:16:42.593-06:002011-05-17T07:16:42.593-06:00What a shock for you!
