I had a feeling. The feeling was stronger when I didn’t get a Christmas card. Today her husband answered the email I sent, telling me we had lost her.
She was 6 years younger than I. She was my intern teacher a long time ago when I was teaching in the Tulsa Public Schools. She became my partner in the Reading Clinic I started when I finally gave up on the school system. We ran it for three years, teaching kindergarten through adult, helping many people together. She was my friend.
She traveled to Austin, Texas, married, and worked full time, so our busy lives made it so we didn’t communicate as much as we would have liked. Ours was the kind of friendship where we would talk – after not communicating much for a long time – and take up right where we left off, as if we hadn’t been apart.
She was a caring, pretty, SWEET lady. I loved her. A light is now gone from our world. I’m lucky I got to share that light for a little while.
