Hugs to you and Ed as you continue on this difficult journey.

You have taken your current situation and decided to be open to consider something like this, something that you know you like and are good at, a place to focus all those positive things that seem muffled right now, but that make you such a great person. Which is definitely "one good thing".Kirsten Lnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239796424430952907.post-751203595894924712010-09-04T13:36:50.650-04:002010-09-04T13:36:50.650-04:00As others have said, the students you'll be wo...As others have said, the students you'll be working with are going to be blessed by you.
