Happy Birthday Corrie

Corrie's Mom

Today is Corrie’s sixth birthday, and her first in heaven.

My husband cleaned her and her grandparents’ graves after a bad storm swept a bunch of dirt and the loose gravel packed around her new marker.

It had covered my father-in-law’s name. My husband, John, fixed it, and then I redecorated.

I added a Christmas tree the florist had made for her. I created the flower art with a Christmas tree. I love her so much.

They say teacher turn over is high right now, and many teachers will leave the profession in five years or less. I will enter my seventh year as a full-time teacher, and my 12th year in education after I'd started as a sub and teacher assistant. I was the student in the 1990s you did not want in your classroom because I was diagnosed with ADHD and did not know how to socialize with other kids. I was due to be tested for autism, but this was considered an ostracizing experience for a child then, especially a girl. I am a third generation teacher and author of seventeen creative works.
