We've already lost Amanda and that's the greatest loss [my babygirl]'s team has ever suffered." Another family I left is upset I wasn't able to say goodbye. The mother of the high-functioning jerk I teach now is about to lose me, too. She and my bosses were on a phone call about it when the mother declared, "You're not taking Amanda. That's all there is to it." Then she hung up on my boss. My boyfriend made me a valentine's day card by hand. I guess his work had crafting materials out and he thought I would like it. He was right. I liked it so much I cried, because I'm gay like that. Sorry that you have to put up with my record of being loved, everyone, but I need to make sure I remember the wonderful things in my life and stay grateful for them. << | x | >> whatiscopyright.org
