A teacher that cares

 A teacher that cares

My first headmistress noticed that I was at best neglected. And while she didn’t do much, she gave me a comb with my name scratched into it by her and some secondhand clothes. So that I could comb my hair and that I wouldn’t look so scruffy. and this is a very practical approach without any other intervention. Yet neglect is the best way one could describe the situation, and I had many more brutal years of childhood ahead of me. they make all the difference though these teachers and there is a strength and confidence I got from some of the teachings that that School and her lesson that with friends like that who needs enemies.

Shout out Dave

 Dave: Mum had just moved up to live near me. I was a single mum with a newborn as the father had left before the birth. I had no choice, but to go back to full-time work and put the baby into a nursery at 13 weeks. Mum had plans to take on part of the childcare. But mum’s skin had turned yellow and she’d been to the Doctor. He suspected gallstones so she was awaiting an appointment at the hospital. She had a very supportive friend in Dave. He drove two hours each way to help mum move into her new house, And spent a day caring for my baby while I started work again. Then Dave’s dad fell gravely ill. Dave‘s dad had a stroke in the hospital, And Mum‘s consultant gave us the shock prognosis of eight weeks. We wished ardently we could put them both in the same hospital as Dave split his time between work, his dad and my mum and I split mine between full-time work, my mum and my baby. We buried Dave’s dad on November 31. Mum died December 14.
