You Will Be Missed

April 22, 2014

I’m usually pretty good with words. Heck, writing is my thing. Always has been. But today, my heart is heavy and the words keep erasing themselves. 


One of my most treasured reasons for this blog has always been the networking with other teachers. I have had the great privilege to work with teachers all over our country (and increasingly, the world). Through this adventure, I have come to know a very special group of teachers. We collectively run The Teaching Tribune, but our networking and friendships go so far beyond our shared blog. We are truly friends. From Ireland to Vegas to Canada to Georgia to Australia and beyond. We talk every day about school, life, our families, our joys, our frustrations, and most recently… our sorrow.

Today is a day that more than ever I wish we were closer together. Today is also a day I realize that the dreamed meet-ups, where we will one day sit in the same room together, will never happen. We lost our dear friend Teresa from Second Grade Pig Pen yesterday. 

For those you who didn’t have the honor of knowing her… she was funny. She was selfless. I don’t think many of us knew quite how sick she really was on the other side of our computer screens. And she loved to dance. Her “money dance” was my favorite, though she was a trusted “snow day dance” dancer for those of us still teaching, even after she had to retire due to her health. How fitting that her final blog post is one of a church covered in snow. It’s a perpetual snow day for you, friend! 

I know that she’s dancing away right now and though our hearts are heavy, they will heal. Treasure every moment you have. Our lifetime is but a minute, and I hope you live each one to the fullest.


We love you, Teresa.

    I got to know her through email, I won a contest and won her whole tpt store. We realized we both live in Georgia and have followed her ever since. Such sad news 🙁

    She is smiling down on you because of the heartfelt words you just shared with us. This I truly believe. Praying…

    This is terrible news. I read her final blog post and she said she thought her health issues were finally resolved. It is really great to part of such a supportive and loving group of people. Many of us have never seen one another but still the support for one another is stronger than some schools where people work together on a daily basis…Thanks for sharing Christi!

    I am sorry to hear about the loss of your dear friend. This blog post was a beautifully written tribute, and she is smiling down on you from heaven. Thank you for sharing and caring……sending prayers and (((((hugs))))) your way.

    Christi – I've read your post twice and twice I'm in tears! Such a wonderful tribute. I'm so glad we got to spend 'time' with her. I know she is dancing in Heaven and watching over us right now. She brought us together and won't be forgotten. <3

Joy // I shared this in stories, but it deserves a Joy // I shared this in stories, but it deserves a permanent place in my feed too. When do we lose this endless wonder and joy?? These kids are here for a good time all the time. 

They loved a night in a hotel to swim and play. It wasn’t a relaxing experience away with a spa like many of my trips pre-kids, but it was exactly what we needed.

After moving back to Louisville last summer, it’s been fun exploring old places that are “new” to my kids. The new ownership seems to have big plans for the park. Carter is eager for the water rides to open. We’ll be back soon!
