But, life really does throw us for some detours, doesn't it? And teaching requires so much time. I miss it sometimes, but I can't do it because I know it would take me away from my kids too much.Shellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06811697675090627618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2997253466437203621.post-64846067427759741592011-03-21T10:29:15.475-06:002011-03-21T10:29:15.475-06:00It is so sweet of you to write this.

For some reason my blog rejected her comment...go figure...but I wanted to share it:<br /><br />"You ask at the bottom of your blog... How much do you love me? How can I measure that? I'm so humbled that you would write such a beautiful poem about me... looking into my soul... reflectiing my spirit. No wonder I love your son so much... he's a reflection of you. <br /><br />Speaking of the Son, you brought me to my knees... in thankful prayer. Support when there is only darkness has a brillance all its own.<br /><br />From the bottom of my heart... to the bottom of your blog... thank you, Crystal"<br /><br />Can you see why this is such a painful loss? She is a gift...and my child is a better person having known and learned from her.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08354973669191454830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2997253466437203621.post-44141824539313486612011-03-18T08:35:02.872-06:002011-03-18T08:35:02.872-06:00I hope that you sent this to her.
