Mrs. Wood, 2nd grade teacher.
I am VERY excited and super grateful for God's provision of opportunities in our family. We can look back and see how he has used the ups and downs of our lives to bring us to this point. Always in my mind, though, is the fact that an opportunity for me means some loss in others' lives. Mrs. Meehan, who was my fifth grade teacher and Isaac's 2nd grade teacher, is retiring earlier than she planned, and I'm certain that when she imagined her retirement, this is never the way she saw it happening in her mind. So, it is a bittersweet thing for me...the sweet in the looks on those kiddos faces today when I got to break the news to them that we would be spending every day together, the bitter as I think that Mrs. Meehan thought she would be spending every day with them during this school year. Life is made up of the bitter and the sweet and they go together to make something beautiful.
I am thankful...for a new adventure, for a job I LOVE, for Mrs. Meehan and others who have left a legacy before me...

Oh wow, I had no idea! I can't think of a better person for her to pass the torch to and I'm sure that comforts her knowing her kids are in GREAT hands!! Congrats, my friend.
