Dear Mr. Dueñas:

Years ago, I worked at National Jewish Hospital (remember that I’ve had a varied and chequered work career) teaching children who had quite literally been kicked out of first grade.  The five children had rejected being in the classroom to which they were assigned; at that time, there were only two classes for the children (first through eighth and high school) who were all patients with respiratory disease, such as asthma.  Having been rejected by the children, the teacher was allowed to reject the children.  I was hired to teach these children in a separate classroom.

The Left Leg and the Right Leg walked to the Tahoe.

“I’m so excited,” said Left Leg.  “This means we are going somewhere.  I’m sick of being in that house for days and days.  I’m glad she is well enough to go out, these days.”

“Yep.  I’m real tired of this.  We can’t exercise.  We can’t go up and down stairs, easily.  We can hardly walk.  I think we’re losing our grip,” replied Right Leg.

And, the conversation continued.

Years ago, when I was the school super in a small Eastern Colorado town, my school librarian was expecting her fifth (I think, fifth) child.  When a school district is as small as mine, it is not always easy to find new staff members.  So, you keep them, if possible.  As well, child care is not as available as it is in the big city.

 Lady came to live with me four years ago.  Two years after Larry’s passing.  I’ve talked a lot about her in my BLOGs.  You’ve seen photographs of Katie and Paisley and Katie.  She left me, yesterday, November 3.  I felt that I had to let her go. .

I had planned to do other things this weekend, but spent almost the entire week going to Lady’s personal vet and, then, the VRCC.
