It was clear I really did make a difference even when I thought no one cared. I still have a couple of students who had it really rough back then that we stay in touch. I feel like we were in the trenches together

I taught. It was incredibly difficult. I felt like I was in an abusive relationship. Showed up to work every day only to get my figurative face punched in.

Then, when my dad died... I had a large envelope stuffed to the max with beautiful hand made cards from my students.

Ha!

I was never on that platform. Now, I am really glad I didn't engage over there. Bluesky has been a very positive experience so far. I am also quite handy with the 'block' option, though. LOL. Some body says something too strange or right wing in a thread? **hit the button** lol

How wonderful!!! Great artwork that captures the spirit of a man that is full of joy!

He is a class act! Solid as a rock and had him stammering! Love it.

Amazing! At the Buddy Holly museum they have a pair of his contact lenses (yes, contacts!) Made out of glass, I believe. They are a complete half sphere. I remember staring at them in horror. I could not imagine trying to put that in my eye and actually wear it. No wonder he stuck to his glasses

💯 🙏 It is so abusive!

Ah. Those were the days. I vividly remember calling into a radio station making requests and waiting patiently to make a legendary mixed tape. 🤣

You are a champion, still basking in the glow of victory, I am sure. 🤣

Book It! I won one, too! My parents beamed with joy.

We can hope.

Storage units are crazy, too. I don't get it.

And storage unit businesses!

Wonderful! ✨️

This is a beautiful story ✨️ Happy birthday to her and may your family enjoy many happy years together. 🙏

Still absorbing someone married him...
