Five years ago. “What do you want? What will it cost you? Are you willing to pay the price?” That quote has followed me around for years, like a mother’s voice in my mind. I hope the students took it with them as they went on to find the reality in the dreams they worked so hard for. This was my life’s work. Gone - without warning like a thief in the night. My heart still resides here. I wanted to help people find hope. The price; I never was able to know how to quantify it, but I knew I was willing to pay it. If you see any of my former “kids” (I was campus mom lol) or my friends who became like family to me, give them a hug and tell them I love them. I miss this- all of this- with all my heart. Bittersweet.
