Missing Mrs.Missy

Teacher Appreciation Week is next week and our family appreciates all the hard work the teachers at Beechwood have done for our kids. Especially Chase's autism teacher, Mrs. Missy Broome. This woman is excellent. Every time I walk into my son's class she is active, excited and involved. He has advanced leaps and bounds under her care the past couple of years. I drop Chase off at school and thank God everyday he is in good hands. It takes a special person to do what Missy does. A special education teacher must have dedication and perseverance and she has it.

The other day Missy told me she is going to the high school next year to work with the special education kids. When she told me I lost it a little and I cried right there in front of her and every kid in the car rider area. I think I even at one point asked her if Chase could just go with her next year to the high school. That of course was not an option, because well, Chase is only 9.

So, I do not know who Chase is getting next year but Missy will be missed. But if I stop and think about it, Chase will see her again. In a few years he will be back with her at the high school and that is comforting. Thank you Missy for all your hard work and I hope you know our family is eternally grateful.
