Teacher, always comparing me to my older brothers. Guess your degree didn’t teach you to let children be themselves. You apologized years later, but I wonder how many other kids you made hate you.

Teacher. Oblivious to the little girl crying in the front row. Tormented, and you didn’t notice. “What’s wrong with your face?” you asked, and I remember over twenty years later. Thanks for protecting me.

You lived down the street. We cut snowflakes together and walked your dachshund. You taught me to own up to my screwups. You moved in elementary school. Wish I knew where you are now.
