DISQUS

Clare · 1 year ago

I worked in a small nursing home our of high school for a few years and met a woman named Mamie Kennedy. She was from the same small town in the heart of West Virginia as my mother. After a brief conversation, I found out she was a substitute teacher and taught my grandmother and oldest great uncle school. I was astonished, that I had met my grandmothers grade school teacher!! It definitely gave me perspective. Now over 25 years later, I understand how time passes, without notice. Age give you a more realistic perspective on time. Poof, a vapor appears and vanishes, and a lifetime is spent.

@Clare that's a great story. I had many teachers over the years that had both the parent and the child in school. However I don't think I've known anyone that had met their grandmothers grade school teacher until now.
