Sky

That was the little girl's name who gave me the final nugget of courage and clarity to have the courage to change my life. She ran up to me in Piggly Wiggly and hugged me and said, "Mrs. O'Nan!" This after weeks of wrestling with the idea of returning to my childhood dream of being a teacher. I don't know why, but it was Sky. Just one of a hundred of my students I met during substitute teaching. 2 years later she came up and hugged me again while I was subbing in special ed, and one semester away from graduation. Does she even remember me or know who I am? Probably not, but that second hug was the icing on my yummy life-changing cake. I love you little Sky. Thank you for helping me remember who I am.
