In August we brought our oldest child to college. We had a great weekend shopping and setting up her room to make her feel "at home" in her new space.
Thankfully, her new roommate is great and the get along well. They also coincidentally have a coordinated color schemewith their linens and decorating style... important!
As she was taking out her momentos from home, she started hanging photos of all the special people in her life on her bulletin board. Of course family and friends were among the pictures. Then I saw a picture of my daughter with her 5th grade teacher from her 5th grade Continuation party. How wonderful! Mrs. Wells was a great teacher and my daughter loved her so much!
As I reflected on that later, I thought it was pretty cool that my daughter would bring her picture to college with her!
This week I tracked down Mrs. Wells' address and wrote her to let her know the lasting impact she has had on my daughter.
Make sure to take the time to let people know when they have touched your life. We all need some encouragement and you never know when the right words at the right time will touch their life!
