Today's technology is amazing. My daughter lives 3320 miles away (5343 Kilometers) in a remote Alaska town. Today was there high school graduation. She is a teacher there and these are her kids. The ceremony was live and one of the speeches was from a former teacher. He was asked to write something to inspire the graduates. He told them how to be the best person they could be and at the end he told them they had the best source of inspiration right there with them. My daughter! I cried....
@Minholkin Thank you! I was not expecting it.
@gettinaway So lovely that you were able to 'be there' to hear somebody say that about her.
Your heart must be swelling. ♥️
@stueytheround I've been able to watch there graduations for the last few years. The technology is wonderful for that. It is easy to see how much she has been accepted into their lives!
@gettinaway
She is clearly one of those teachers the students will never forget. For all the *right* reasons.
@stueytheround She is the Godmother for several of her students children. And she is included in so many family gatherings. She is one of those people that you like right away.
@gettinaway 💜 Wonderful!
I have the blessing of being Godfather to several children too. To be invited into a family like that is so special.
@stueytheround She loves the people there and they make her feel like she belongs. It helps me worry less.
@gettinaway Wow, you sound like an amazing Dad. You’re blessed to have each other.
I live in Alaska. When we were stationed in Kotzebue, we had a wide variety of friendly acquaintances, among those were several teachers who taught in surrounding villages. Good people, good times!
@NanaWithSoul My daughter originally planned on staying one year. Now she will stay until she retires. Her teacher friends have been amazing but her former students and their families are always ready to help her out. They are her protectors!
@gettinaway That’s really good to hear, because it can be difficult teaching in small villages. Good for her! It’s amazing how deep friendships can become in those situations. Three of my dearest friends are from our time stationed there.
@NanaWithSoul She has made some incredible friendships out there. She is considered a local now and she is well loved by most everyone.
Congratulations Dad. She sounds amazing:)
@Not_your_average_granny Thank you! I think she is but I’m a bit biased!
