This year, I showed up to the local high school with a new and "special friend".

&nbsp;

It was a humbling and moving experience.  I happened to run into an old friend and former teaching colleague who is a cancer survivor.  Together, we watched a tribute to another friend and former teaching colleague of mine who lost her battle this past December.
