A Well Timed Valentine

This has been a very long week. Another student in our school district took his own life. One of my coworkers, who I would consider a friend, was asked not to return to our kitchen. Danielle was sick and missed 2 days of school. Things just kind of piled up, and I felt pretty weighed down by Friday afternoon. That's why, when I walked into the kitchen after school on Friday and saw a vase of tulips, a box of chocolates, and a silly poem from my husband waiting for me on the island, the tears came. My Valentine had perfect timing this year.

 

I am looking forward to a fresh start on Monday.
