Angels come in the form of teachers!

Today we had a conference with Micah’s teacher to find out how he is progressing and she held his little heart right in her hand. She said he is special to her and we know she is special to him. She works with his minor quirks and never makes him feel different. He really is not different just has more challenges than a lot of kids. Mrs. M works with all her students needs and helps make them comfortable while learning in the classroom. I have a feeling every student is special to her, but I count us as truly blessed because she is one of the many teachers in the education system that makes a child feel very special just for being who they are. He is excelling this year in all his classes.

Last week Micah cried because we had an appointment with the dentist the next day and he would be missing school. When I asked why he was crying – if he was scared of going to the dentist, he replied, “No, because I won’t get to see my teacher tomorrow”! How many teachers can truly say their student would cry because they were going to miss one day with them?

If we can get more teachers like this through the rest of our boys school years it will make our lives easier. As I have said before - - we need a village to help us raise these boys. Some very special people came into our lives to help form this village of support and love. We only need about 20 more so come to the village campfire and join us.
