A Tribute to our Teachers-We Love and Thank You

As the desks and halls in schools remain empty and bare

And the walls reverberate silence rather than giggles and laughter

As the playground no longer nurtures play and forges friendships

We remember our teachers who foster a love of learning in our littles ones

You may be home alone or have a house full of your own

Either way, your days are no longer filled with the endless chatter, laughter, and play of our little ones

Nearly every day we send our most treasured gifts into your care with extraordinarily little thought on how much you pour into them

You not only nurture their curiosity, grow their love for learning, but also tend to their hearts, spirits, and even scraped up knees in our absence

You celebrate their wins with them with high fives and congratulations

You encourage them to keep trying even when they want to give up

You witness the spark in their eyes light up when they finally understand new and difficult concepts

I never realized how much we take our teachers for granted

You are still plugging in, still teaching, still reaching out to help us flailing moms, to help our kids succeed and grow through a difficult time

Your grace and patience must be endless because I cannot do what most of you do so effortlessly

Thank you for loving our kids even from a distance

Thank you for still showing up

Thank you for explaining things in a way that many of us mom’s can’t-without frustration

From all the moms all around the globe…

Thank you for everything you do

We see you

We appreciate you

Now more than ever

XOXO,

A grateful mom
