Graduation Mood
Wednesday, June 11, 2008 | A Positive story
Today is going to be one of those days when you are happy, sad and proud-all at once. Tonight fifteen of my handicapped students are graduating-really graduating- the cap, the gown, the processional- I am so proud- I am proud in the fact that I contributed to this remarkable day- and I was blessed with spending between 11 and 9 years with these amazing souls. What an honor!!! I am going to be a little sad-i am very close to these kids- I love them as my own, they got me through so much, they love me with all their hearts, they have shown me un-conditional love- when I thought love was something you lost if you no longer pleased someone- We have danced together, laughed together, jumped the railroad tracks in the "happy" van together. I am going to miss them so much- I can't wait to see them in their cap and gown - graduating with their peers- and I am gloating a bit-in knowing I am part of the reason they have had an amazing high school experience-they got to be high school kids, and I am thankful that they are a part of the reason I am still able to love and be happy- Wish me luck today-no mascara.

    That is great news Misty! I'm sure they're going to miss you just as much as you miss them. They were lucky to have you those years. Jumping the tracks in the Happy van sounds like fun. Have lots of fun at the graduation! ;o)

    Its nice to know that there are people like you that are out there and really know what love is all about. You should be very proud of your students and their teacher.
