My dear friend Lizzie once told me that someone wise in her life used that phrase when things were difficult, and today I'm remembering it and tryng to keep the meaning of it at the front of my mind.
Yesterday morning a young father of two young Odyssey students passed away after a long, long battle with cancer. His kids basically grew up knowing dad as a cancer-fighter. Beautiful, smart kids with great smiles and a loving supportive family around them. The school community rallied with donations...a few people from school went to their house last week to decorate and give them a tree. It's so sad, such a hard time of year to lose someone you love.
Today is Tuesday December 11. Not counting the days I'll be in Rhode Island with my sister while she has surgery I'll be in school 6 more days. I'm finishing up all of the teacher observations, going through all my files, both electronic and paper, and just basically soaking up what I can to have as memories of my time at Odyssey.
