Dear Ones,

I had a very sweet encounter today that made me reflect on the lasting power of Love.

I was subbing in a school that I know fairly well, supporting English learners. I didn’t have much to do during my last 4^th grade assignment and decided to go outside. It was a warm day today in Virginia.

I sat on a bench in the playground and observed young children playing around on the monkey bars and other swings.

I was doing ….. nothing.

At some point, a young girl came toward me and gave me a big hug. I recognized her face yet didn’t know who she was. I asked about her grade (2^nd) and her teacher’s name (Ms. Hunt). Everything fell into place and I could suddenly reminisce about the tremendous love we experienced in that classroom less than a month ago.

This young mind went on to play and came back later on with an inquisitive question.

“What are you doing here?”

I had to explain to her that I was skipping my last assignment of the day, searching for Love…. Unconsciously, that is.

Topic: When memories fade, love remains!
