Son, I retired on Sept. 1, 2016.  As you know, I enjoyed teaching. There are times when i miss the job.  I atleast substitute teach though, which has some  good days and some less than enjoyable days

You never said I'm leaving

  You never said Goodbye

You were gone before we knew it

And only God knows why

In life I loved you dearly

  In death I love you STILL

In my heart I hold a place

 That only you can fill

It broke my heart to lose you

  But you didn't go alone

A part of me went with you

The day God took you home.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Son, this was your momma in her younger days.

Memories, light the corners of my mind.  Instant water colored memories, of the way we were.  You, were my first born son, so sweet.  I would sit in awe watching you as a toddler, moving with so much assurance in all you attempted to do.  When you drew me a picture of an elephant facing front, and I was able to see an actual elephant, not a stick figure, it blew my mind.  You were only 4 years old.  I knew then that you had talent.  Every envelope that you ever mailed to me with drawings on them were delightful.  You would have stormed the cartoon arena had you a mind too, you were that good.  Son, I think of you often, and miss you dearly.
