I know. This blog is written the day after 10/10/10, but I had some things to take care of yesterday that occupied my time...and for good reason. Exactly one year ago yesterday, my mentor, teacher, and friend made the ultimate sacrifice by giving her life to save others, but she saved more lives in her lifetime than the number of people she saved that were on the bus that killed her (I think there were about 52 people on that bus and 51 survived). I can't believe I have gone an entire year within my hero and mentor to lean on.
Heather..."Because I knew you, I have been changed for good."
"Did you ever know you're my hero?"...Heather would always tell her students that they were her heros and friends. I miss you Heather. I can imagine you and Sara are causing some mischief in heaven. "Save me a sit, hold on tight and enjoy the ride...cause life is about to get interesting!"
Heather Chrisenten, my guardian angel...I love and miss you terribly.
