Helen

Helen said goodbye officially today, although she leaves next week.

Life seems to be a series of Hellos and Goodbyes.

I met Helen when I first ever became a Teacher. She has always been clever, funny and forgiving- especially of a year one neep.

She wrote a Doric poem for her farewell which had us all in stitches. It was precise, honest and full of warm, earthy humour.

It meant something that Helen liked me. And had time for me. And believed I could do a good job.

But she has a new Hello coming- in Grandkids and weddings and a heap of fun stuff.

And whilst I will mist over like a big Jessie, I will always smile and be glad I got a piece of her for so long.
