Missing Becky 101

I have been taking a class..

It is full of students..

the teacher is PERFECT..

The book is BIG..I haven't read the whole thing yet..

It's hard, some days I understand it and some days I don't..

I have skipped class a few days..by choice..not going to see the teacher with an explanation..

I always feel better when I speak to him..

He is understanding and very forgiving..

I tell him , I don't get the subject...

I ask him why did he have to teach the class so early ?

What about the people in the class ? Some of us are failing and we go to class every day...

Why does the teacher not appear in public ?

Why do we go to class and not get it ?

Why do we miss the subject when we don't go to the class ?

Sometimes when I study I can hear laughter..

I hear someone squeal when she opens a gift..

I can see her taking care of her family..

I see her friends talking about her at her funeral..

I see her daughters trying to be big girls and fighting the battle daily..

I see her granddaughters and want to weep and scoop them up and tell them stories of all the things we used to do with their grandmother..

I see a tape measure and picture her measuring jeans..

I wait on her at a restaurant because she was always late..

I laugh when I recall stories she shared about her strong husband..

I cry when I miss the class..

folks..

I made a F this semester...

The good news is I get to take the class over..

I will study harder..

Visit the teacher on a more regular basis..

Talk to him after the class and talk to him all day if I want..

Because of the teacher I can picture her finding the perfect jeans for her girls..keep her house in perfect order with no work,,,Laugh with old friends and family...She has the perfect tree this year..all the expensive ornaments..she even has on a crown with many diamonds on it..real ones..my friend liked diamonds...
But most of all..my friend LOVED the teacher..She called on him in class and out..She made an A and she got to go and live with him...She learned the book the hard way..she fought hard to stay in class but in the end the teacher gave her the A she wanted..The perfect classroom and the PERFECT TEACHER..

Loving you all..Got to go and Study some more..I want to pass the test this year..
