Perhaps 'twas a day like any other,
but it wasn't actually, it was a true
gift of a day. A former colleague,
lo these many years not seen, shared
a few delicious hours and memories
with me.
What a delight to sift through those
few stories of students and fellow
teachers that we loved throughout
the years of teaching and counseling.
Whilst enjoying the delightful repast
she provided, we chuckled, belly
laughed, sighed . . . even shed a few
tears.
One of the blessings derived from
the day was the reiteration of a
career well chosen, enjoyed and
revered.
Indeed, it has been so hard for me
to let go; I loved teaching ever so
much. My students meant the world
to me, but today was a reminder that
it is time, time to bid adieu to that
part of my life.
Perhaps the best part of today . . .
a professional colleague may
have come to visit, but she left
as a friend.
*Dedicated to Patricia Salas,
phenomenal teacher and counselor.
