Well, as much as we wanted to start off the New Year with a bang and only good things, it started off on a very sad note. Andrew's teacher at Roper Learning Center, Ms. Judy, became sick on December 18 due to a massive stroke. She had been in a coma since that time and on Monday, January 4, the family decided to withdraw support and on Wednesday, January 6 Ms. Judy passed away.
Ms. Judy was such an amazing woman and she ran her a class with a structured hand to ensure that all the children had all their needs met and learned new things every day. Although I am still not quite walking, I am saying quite a few words and am always very happy to be at school. Despite crying every time Mommy walked out of the room while on vacation, I never cry when Mommy takes me to school and I always love being there. It is because of my wonderful teachers that makes me feel so comfortable at school and not be upset while Mommy and Daddy are at work. Ms. Judy will be missed greatly and there will always be a missing part of the pre-toddler room because she is not there to add her smile every day.
Many wonderful remarks were passed back and forth through the parents after her death, but there is one poem that is so touching that makes me cry every time I read it and I think it is so fitting when describing Ms. Judy and trying to come to terms with her death.
God saw that she was getting tired and the cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around her and whispered, “Come with Me.”
With tearful eyes we watched her suffer and saw her fade away.
Although we loved her dearly, we could not make her stay.
A golden heart stopped beating; hard working hands to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best.
Ms. Judy you will be missed and this just reminds me that we need to thank everyone around us every day because we never know what tomorrow will bring. Ms. Sonya, Ms. Suzzette, and Ms. Lisa thank you for taking such good care of me and making sure I am safe everyday I am school.
