It’s the last day before Spring Break and, of course, I have door duty… and, of course, it is raining. It’s yet another to-do on this never ending teacher to- do list, but it must get done and someone’s got to do it.
As the kids are lining up and the bell’s about to ring, a student of mine yells to me across the lines of other students, “Mrs. Anderson!! Can you come here?”
I make my way over to the classroom line she’s standing on when, in a sudden burst of movement, she drops down on her one knee. Clearly, completely unnerved by the puddle below her.
In one fell swoop, she holds out mini flower, and says with all the confidence in the world, “WILL YOU BE THE BEST TEACHER EVER?”
I gasp at the abruptness and giggle at the sweetest of it all.
Her proposal has won my heart; and you can BET I said YES!

I was so fortunate to have my phone ready to snap a pic instantaneously; I can’t tell you how lucky I am to have captured a moment I’ll remember forever. 💕
