She blessed me

I was new to the district when I was told my room was not cozy, so I was given permission to set up my room.

As I was going through my memorabilia from my previous district, I found a card with her name on it.

After I texted her a photo of that card, she texted me back.

I ended up calling her and telling her my woes and triumphs.

As we talked, she reminded me of whose I was and how I had created a legacy through my students.

Then I stood in a doorway as she prayed over me, blessing me as I started a new chapter.

Last night, we were at a local historical site enjoying the Christmas decorations.

As we were leaving, I simultaneously saw and ran to her.

She embraced me when she realized I was there.

We talked for a few moments and then she blessed me into the new year.

This was one of the counselors at the school I taught at when I was I was a fledging teacher in the early 2000s. She is one of the ones who taught me to be a teacher because she saw the potential in me. It was a blessing to see her last night.

    That’s a great story! So you knew what each other looked like, or did you just kind of knew it was her?

      We used to work together. I saw her a year or two ago because her granddaughter was a student at the school I was teaching at. However we haven’t seen each other since. It was a matter of us not seeing each other in person for a long time.

      I had her number to text her earlier because I would send her photos of her granddaughter. If there was a special event, she couldn’t attend I would make sure she got a photo.
