I like teachers. They are my favorite people. They work long hours, up early preparing for classes, on their feet most of the day, grading papers and writing lesson plans late into the night, often spending their own money to help their students.

My wife is a retired public school teacher who poured her life into kindergarten, elementary and high school students. Her last assignment was a dropout prevention program for pregnant and parenting teens. Her goals were to help them have a healthy birth, learn to be good parents, stay in school, earn a degree and have a future. She loved her students and helped them achieve a 98% graduation rate.

Columns share an author’s personal perspective. Most of us first experience grief as a child with the death of a pet who shared our childhood. Many dogs, cats and birds have been buried beneath carefully turned soil moistened with childhood tears.Grief eventually comes more forcefully with the death of a parent, a brother, sister or friend. If we live long enough, it will come to each of us when we part with those we love most.David, who wrote the Psalms, was famous for his grief
