Kindness and a Mentor

“A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.”

~  Henry Adams

Yesterday was a friend of mine’s birthday.  She would have been 110 years old, but she died a number of years ago.  This friend was one of my high school teachers and a very important mentor.  She taught me many things, and was a constant and long-time source of support and encouragement.  Long after I left high school, I called her when things got tough.  And she was always there.  I think of her often and always on her birthday.
