Letter 7

Dear Peapod,

Hi.  I'm beginning to realize I wasn't meant to be a teacher. After all, how can I teach you when there are things I need to teach myself, that I need to realize, but that I refuse to learn.  How many times have I heard, "You just need to learn to deal with it-get a grip," over and over?  But baby, that's something I still have not learned.  I have not learned how to comfort you in all the ways you need to be comforted.  I have not learned how to balance my family, my extended family, maintain friendships, be successful in my career, give my all to the Lord....I mean, look at that list as an example.  The Lord should be first, and right now, all I can think about is me.  So today, don't follow my example--it's not a good or healthy one.  I'll try to be better tomorrow.  Just know that I love you and am trying to give you my best every day.

Love,
Your Retired Teacher
