My mom has taught school for 34 consecutive years. Now, she has less than two weeks left. She has been a wonderful teacher. She has devoted her heart, soul, energy, money, attention, and identity to teaching for such a long time. She has touched, shaped, and changed many young minds and lives along the way.
This past week was the first of her retirement open houses, giving us a peek at the reality of her really being done. None of us (especially her) know what we'll do with her at home all the time, but we can't wait to find out!
