I do not know what has come over me in the last few months, but I have been reflecting back to my old life. The one where I was a miserable messed up pre-teen and teenager ugh. Any how through my old college roommate I found out that one of my favorite eighth grade teachers had recently lost her husband of 40 years. Well, I always was a little odd in that my teacher were my friends in school and so I called her. I cannot believe we spent two and a half hours on the phone. She is still the same as always. We talked about many of the teachers I had while attending school. I was very saddened to hear that another favorite teacher is not doing well.
T ( and that is what we called her) was the Physical Education teacher at our school. Yeah I know I am the last person you would picture friends with a P.E. teacher, I have no athletic talent unless you count bowling. But she was one of my saving graces when I was in school from the first day of sixth grade when I basically went catatonic on her and then told her I did not have a father She was so kind and caring taking me back to her office to find out what was what. From that day on she has had a special place in my heart, though I have never told her. In my defense I was to messed up emotionally for many years to even think straight.
I am trying to make amends now and I hope I am not too late. I found out she is suffering from a brain tumor and she so young only 57. I have managed to locate her address though she now lives as a recluse and has made it clear to many she does not want to be seen. I am writing her a letter in hopes she will contact me back, but if nothing else I have told her in the letter just how special she has always been to me.
