scratch item number four

Nov 09, 2004 11:12

i have said that before i die,
i would like to impact someone;
whether it be insignificant or life-moving.

a couple of weeks ago i was shopping,
and i hear my name being called by an
elderly woman who looked so fammiliar
yet, i couldn't remember her exactly.

"Robyn?! Do you remember me?"
"I feel like i do.."
"I'm Mrs. Webber, your second grade teacher."
"Oh, wow. Hi....How did you know it was me?"
"You just looked like you."
"Oh."
"You know, the other day
i was drinking coffee out of a mug you gave me,
and each time i use that mug I think of you."

She had warm eyes.

Frankly, i don't remember much of second grade, except that she was not my teacher, she was the aide for my second grade teacher, and i don't remember giving her that mug, but i do think it's remarkale that after all these years she remembers me. I guess thats one item off my list of things to accomplish before i die. Thank you Mrs. Webber.
