I didn't expect to write into the night, but one comment ignited the chain reaction as I sought greater truth and understanding.
I first I wondered, "How could that be," and then, "What happens next?" In some ways it's like a story without an ending or at least the ending I was hoping for.
Now late at night, a resolve has emerged--a good, go forward resolve that leads me back once again to the young and wonderful children I teach.
