Wonderful Wednesday #2: A Christmas Surprise

Wonderful Wednesday is a time for us to share the wonderful things of life.

Yes, it's February and I'm about to discuss Christmas. But this is too good to hold onto until December, so please bear with me.

Every year, like most teachers, I get gifts from students and their families. Teacher decorations, candies, gift cards, etc. One student gave me an awesome pair of piano socks!

This year was no exception. What made it different was a note and gift I received from the grandma of 2 of my students. The youngest handed it to me and said, "This is from Grammy".

My heart melted.

And then melted some more when I read the note.

The note and gift themselves are beautiful and I so appreciate them.  But when I saw that the card was signed "Love, Grammy", it just brought me to tears. (The tears are welling up now thinking about it.)

See, I had a Grammy. She was my mom's maternal grandmother, my great-grandmother and I had the honor of knowing her until I was 19. Most people don't get to have their grandparents in their lives that long let alone a great-grandparent. Having the grandma of my students sign her name Grammy and not "M and G's Grandma" or "Mrs. So-in-so" just made so many things feel worth it. (Where are my teachers at? You feel me, right?)

This is what I love about what I do. My students are family. Their families are family and what is more wonderful than that?
