I met a very lovely teacher in my teenage years. She had 2 boys and we got along so well. She might be the first person to show me how far compassion and affectionate words can make me feel less alone in this world. On the last day i saw her, she told me that she wished i was her real daughter. I gave her a pair of earrings as a goodbye gift and saw her drive away in her car.

Years passed by and i only managed to called her once. Then later a connection told me that she passed away from cancer. I did not even know she was ill. I did not make the effort to see her.

Her facebook page is still up and I still send her messages there every so often. I attached pictures and tell her about updates in my life. Thousand lines of messages that were never read. I hope no one ever take her page down as she has inspired so many people in her life. I miss her dearly. I wished i had the money and time to see her when she was still around. Not sure why my heart misses her so much tonight, but i wish she is here next to me now.

I hope you are proud of the person I have become. I wish you are here so I can share parts of my life with you.

I miss you so much.
