Fifteen years spent in the field of education has provided me with many treasured moments. One of the most unforgettable 36when I was teaching second grade 10 years ago.

We practiced singing songs, memorized poems and wrote cards. We decided to hold our tea the Friday before Mother’s Day. I was surprised and 39to learn that every mother was planning to attend. I 40invited my own mother.
Finally, the big day arrived. Each child lined up at our classroom door, 41the arrival of his or her mom. 42it got closer to starting time, I looked around and my eyes quickly found Jimmy. His mother hadn’t 43up and he was looking upset.
I took my mother 44the hand and walked over to Jimmy. “Jimmy,” I said, “I have a bit of problem here and I was 45if you could keep my mother 46while I’m busy.”
My mom and Jimmy sat at a table. Jimmy 47my mom her treats, presented her with the gift I had made, just as we had 48the day before. Whenever I looked over, my mother and Jimmy were in deep 49.
Last year, I took a senior class on a field trip, and there was Jimmy, I had the students complete an outline of the day’s 50and an evaluation of our trip. Then I collected the students’ booklets and checked them to see if 51was completed. When I came to Jimmy’s 52, he had written “Remember our Mother’s Day tea we had in second grade, Mrs, Marra? I do! Thanks for all you did for me, and thank your mother, too.”
I told him I really enjoyed what he had written. He looked rather embarrassed and 53 his own thanks and walked away. Suddenly he ran bark and gave me a big hug.
“Thanks again. No one even knew my mother didn’t 54it.”
I ended my workday with a hug from a teenage boy who 55stopped hugging teachers years ago.
