Thanks, all. Here's a little update:

My director begins radiation soon. My little classroom friends leave sometime in November. The little guy told me that the reason they are leaving is so that can go back to Texas to see his dad. He's currently in jail. For every little break my heart has for these children, I have to remember that maybe, just maybe, there is something I did that will help them to know how bright they are, how much they have to offer the world and how blessed they have made me by the time we've worked together.

I tried to post here the other day but it didn't stick.

I think it's common for those who do for others to wish they could do more. You're doing good though, and well....

The little things are important. Maybe the most important. You are an angel to them.

JFW, you're a mighty fine person.

You're one of those angels that people bump into as they travel through life.

You're full of gifts from the heart. A bright light in a world that needs all it can get.

You are one of the people I consider a blessing to this planet, as much for what you want to do as for the rich and varied thing you actually do accomplish.

The people like your Director, and people like you - are so important to this world. What you do is why we are here. Nothing worthwhile is easy IMO. {#Meditate}

Thank you for what you do Justine. These kids will remember you for their lives as one of the ones that they could talk to. I think that that is a lot.

It's a hard line to walk, doing what you can and "accepting" your own limitations. I get it, it can keep you up at night if you let it. Don't let it

Love you

OH! and a gingerbread teddy? That's something special.

It seems that is always the nature of the education field - most of it is sweetness and light because of the light we help turn on in young minds....and in between those golden moments are the heartaching moments when we wish we could do more.

I'm honored to know you, and the noble work you do. That gingerbread is probably going to mean the WORLD to that boy. You rock.

Imagine the stories they tell when they get home, about the light you bring into their world. Imagine! How great it must feel for them, that someone cares as deeply as you do!
