The sweetest thing, and right when I needed it too

Mrs. B, a long term substitute who was in our building from mid-fall to mid-April came by today to visit. She is a woman who I truly admire, who I think is an amazing teacher and fantastic person. During her time here, she helped me realize so many things about the art of teaching. Anyway today she visited with her students, brought me some books for my collection and told me that I should "teach forever" I am "just what the kids need". She went on to say that the profession as a whole needs more teachers like me. I know its such a simple sweet thing today, but it was truly perfect timing as today has been a little difficult.
