Nancy

She's a lady I met a long time ago.  She worked in the library at the big kid's elementary school.  The school had us fill out a form asking for volunteers and what areas were we interested in.  One of my choices was the library.  Nancy called me and asked if I wanted to volunteer in the library with her.  I said yes! So, twice a week, in the mornings while Eddie was in Kindergarten, I worked in the library. 

Nancy loved me and tried to find a job for me to apply to.  If she had, I am sure, I would not have Zachary.  :) But everything happens for a reason and I have my boy and I love him so much. 

Anyway, Nancy was the first person to look at me and give me credit for being able to do stuff.  I've never felt like a person that could function in this world. 

Nancy gave me a cute mug for Christmas that first year.  I loved it.  It's students sitting in school desks.  They are characters from Suzy's Zoo.  I still have it and I treasure it. 

Nancy had to go on disability because she had vertigo so bad.  It was so sad to see her leave that last time.  I didn't know it'd be her last time there. 

I wish I hadn't lost touch with Nancy.  I think she'd be proud of where I've made it today.  I'm going to try and find her, I don't know if she will remember me if I do find her but I'm going to try.
