I have mixed emotions about volunteering in Spencer's classroom each week. I love it more than anything. I am grateful everytime I get to walk through the doors of the school and feel the happy positive feeling that is in the air. It feels like a special and sort of sacred space. I dislike how it reminds me of the many years I spent exhausted and sick from a gluten allergy I didn't know about. It really was kind of debilitating. I was so tired all the time. Grant used to ask me to go to school and have lunch with him in Elementary school and I am not sure I ever did. That is one of my biggest regrets in life. It breaks my heart. I feel like that stupid Gluten thing robbed me of so many years and so many opportunities. I love this second chance at life I am getting and how wonderful it is to be so involved and to have a healthy strong body that can do it.
I cut out a million little squares today and though it was hard I was glad Spencer's teacher didn't have to do it.
Spencer really loves his teacher this year and says that she is the nicest teacher in the whole school.
I can see that.
I hope to have many more years of volunteering ahead of me.
