The Tallest Tree In My Forest

I got quite a letter from the former and current principals of the school where my mother taught for 28 years. She retired from there 22 years ago, but they still use her teaching methods and structure! She would be so pleased to be remembered with such fondness decades later.

I am obviously very proud of her, if sad at her passing. It’s like a massive tree that has come down in the forest — you are amazed, appreciative, and yet you very much wish the giant was still standing.
