My mom retired from teaching after 30+ years.  We had a wonderful celebration and listened beautiful and emotional testimonies of her character from her friends and fellow teachers.  Teaching is the most noble and undervalued profession there is and I am proud to say that both of my parents were the kind of teacher that really make a difference.  My mom’s going to start growing flowers and dial in her green thumb now that she no longer has to deal with 8 year old’s making fart jokes.  Love you Mom!!
