It's funny how some books stay with you and you feel as if you are a part of the story. I wish all children could feel this way about a book, about a character. Thanks for reminding me.

I do remember my first read of it, and the sadness that I felt. I love the way you added to your memories, bridges from one time to another.

Part of the beauty of you...I concur. Lovely piece.<br /><br />Part of the beauty of your reflection is that it makes me feel like "we" are a part of a minority. The public doesn't tend to see teaching or writing in the same compassionate mode as you express...and that makes me sad for a moment.<br /><br />Keep writing. All teachers need to keep writing their truths. And then it will change.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16100635437209384762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2232396492371281821.post-57739599963094667542013-06-04T04:58:17.400-04:002013-06-04T04:58:17.400-04:00Just beautiful.
