A Teacher

Over the past two weeks my spouse has begun the difficult process of letting go of his first class. Your first class is special - they are big part of molding who you are as a teacher. For LK it is infinitely more special and difficult as he has spent almost two years with most of this class. They are a really wonderful group of students. And, as we often do with our students, he has grown to love them almost like they are his own kids.

If you read his blog you may have noticed that he has changed how he shares stories about his class. His ears have become attuned to their hearts. His heart celebrates their joys. He is a Teacher of the finest calibre.

I am incredibly proud of LK. He has demonstrated a level of faithfulness to his students that awes me. He has put his own wants and needs aside time after time to do what is best for them.

It is the same approach he brings to being a husband and father. I am so unworthy of this amazing man... and so blessed to have him in my life.
