gifts....

my husband is a rare breed,

he is a full time music teacher.

there aren't many of them around

anymore these days.

he loves his job and loves music.

he has a gift.

not only does he teach his young students

music (by the way i would love to 

take his class) but he teaches them

self respect, discipline, tolerance,

respect of others, and confidence.

a short list of what they learn in his class.

the other day he had a 3rd grade

girl in class feeling a little blue.

he asked her how things were.

she is the youngest of 5 girls 

and doesn't really like 

being the youngest.

now my husband is the youngest of 4

and so he knew what she was feeling.

he told her that once her big sisters

were all in high school and college

she would be the last one home

which would mean she wouldn't

have to share anything any more.

this made her smile and

she wondered off to practice her

recorder outside in the sunny field.

at the end of class she came up and told

my husband she had a gift for him.

she handed him this....

she told him 

"thank you!"

gave him a smile and skipped out

of the room off to her next class.

he might be my music man

but he is their "Mr. Schuester".

ciao,

f
