5 years since Daisy was killed.
It was 5 years ago today. And I still feel so much anger and hatred and grief. Daisy was my soul dog. She was my baby and the love I had for her in that one year together is immeasurable. No matter how much time passes, it will never be okay. It will never everContinue reading “5 years since Daisy was killed.”
One of my students died.
Over spring break, one of my students passed away. It was unexpected and while they aren’t sharing what happened, I hope this student is at peace. I’m processing and still in shock. My heart is shattered for the student’s family. Specifically their mom right now. This morning, we had an ultrasound and I found outContinue reading “One of my students died.”
