As your former 5th grade teacher, you will always be someone I have looked up to, since we first met.  You taught me to look at life in a whole new way.  Knowing that my type 2 diabetes was right there in front of me. You along with your sister and family showed me how amazing life can, and is, living with diabetes. Your insight to life, and perception of those around you, is a gift that you so often share with others.  I know you will be an incredible success at whatever you choose to do in life.... So reach high my little fifth grader, as I will cherish forever the time we spent together in grade 5!  ❤️
