I just want to thank all of the many Face Book friends, former students, and family for their wonderful birthday wishes. I was moved by the number of people who took time from their day to make mine so special. How does one say a personal thank you to so many? I was moved to tears by some of the personal comments made by some... your words mean more than you will ever know. It is sad that FB will not permit lengthy ramblings, or I would have used that vehicle to say Thank you.
To those who said they missed my class---I can only say, I probably miss it more. Every student who entered my class became "my kid" for the duration of that class. I loved you all like a parent, and I wanted the very best for you.
To those who were kind with thoughts of inspiration--- thank you, but there is only one who truly inspires and that is Christ Jesus. I pray that I have allowed Him to be seen in me.
To those who have said I am missed in the valley---Thank you. The Valley will always be home.
I have had a truly remarkable birthday this year, and you all have made it thus. Thank you again from the depths of my heart. May God bless each of you as you have blessed me. Love you, Ms Tewell, Annette, or Aunt Annie
