These are our children's teachers. These are SPECIAL people with SPECIAL hearts. Some of these teachers put their life on the line and gave their lives for their students, your children, on Friday, December 14, 2012 in Newtown, Connecticut. Even after this tragic event, Teachers went back to work this Monday morning, with heavy hearts. Teachers have been going back to work since April 20, 1999, after the Columbine shootings.
I just want to say, Thank You. Thank you for going to work and going back to work after these tragic events. Thank you for having patience with our children when they don't quite understand something the first time they hear it and you take time to show them. Thank you for following your heart and becoming a teacher when the pay just isn't there. Thank you for being there for our children and us, as parents, when we have questions. THANK YOU!
It's often times in life we don't stop and say thank you, when we should, and sometimes it's even too late when we realize we should. I could never give my daughter the education that the teachers in my daughter's school system can. As hard as it was to know she was going back to school this morning, as a mom, I knew she was going to school to be with THESE teachers. The ones who would give their lives for their students. So, I let go, I let her go and I smiled knowing for seven hours she will be as protected as that teacher can protect her, and well, that's good for me.

Great post so true!!
