friends and teachers
Oct 24th, 2008 by melinda
Not too long ago, I reconnected with an old friend from high school. Until yesterday, we had only chatted and emailed. Then, in the course of those chats and emails, we discovered a true “small world” connection…
This friend (I’ll call her Karrie to protect her privacy) has been married and divorced since high school. That short marriage produced a daughter, and she has joint custody with the father (her ex). So as a result she remains in fairly close contact with her ex’s family.
This is the “small world” part: Her ex’s aunt turned out to be my fourth grade teacher, and one of the best teachers I ever had! I always regretted losing contact with this teacher.
So yesterday, I went over to my friend’s house and in the process got to meet my old teacher again. That made for a great day. It’s definitely a small world - but sometimes I just love that!
Funny thing is, my fourth grade teacher was my ‘fave’ teacher. At least for elementary school. I had a lot of completely awesome highschool teachers that I email occasionally.
