Day 08-- 30 Days, 30 Letters

your favorite teacher

Mrs. Garrish~
Over the years we have distanced significantly, however, I know that we will never lose touch. You were such an excellent support system for me at a very difficult time in my life, and I will never look beyond or forget that! There were so many things changing in my life, especially when Grams passed away, and for some reason, you embraced me and all of my confusion and sadness. You were, in a sense, my surrogate Grams at that point.
Staying over with you and Lee and the furbabies when Mum would go out of town to see Dan, or to a job fair (also to see Dan) or anything else (usually involving Dan) you would always not only invite, but insist upon me staying with you. You were able to nurture a part of me that I was unable to show my mum, because I was too busy being her support system...
I truly appreciate everything you did for me. You gave me a sense of belonging when I didn't know where to turn, just as you have continued to over the years. I am so thankful that our paths crossed and even more so to still have you in my life!

With Love,
Aften
