It was just before lunch when the phone rang. A very hesitant voice said, "Mr. Dahler?" (my formal teaching name)...I forgot my...conference...I'm so sorry! But I am a good mother...I AM!"
After many reassurances she got here for her conference and we had a great time of sharing and learning together. Afterwards Carol and I went to lunch with her and laughed and even teared up after hearing a beautiful story of friends and fairs. The remainder of the day was spent much in the same way. It was such a good time to learn, share, laugh, and be taught by each and every one of you. After goodbyes were said to Shelley, Rob and Ellie, Carol and I headed out into the dark, dripping sky for Chinesse food. Looking back on the year thus far we came to see how blessed we are to have such a supportive and encouraging parents. Thank you for making our first 29 days such inspiring ones and we look forward to our many days ahead!
