mom’s retiring

i went to my mother’s retirement party today. it was quite moving, probably 300 people were there over the course of the afternoon, coming to tell her how much she has touched their lives.
she has taught sixth grade at stephen s. wise school for ten or fifteen years (noone seemed to know exactly). it was an amazing outpouring of love for my mom, from her students, parents, and fellow faculty. i got a little choked up when some of the students started crying. bret shot photos, and i shot vid which i will put up at some point. tomorrow we head up to ojai for a few days.
