Miss Melanie came for a visit!

May 2010:

Together again!

Miss Melanie was diagnosed with Lukemia and left school in October.  The kids and parent's were very sad to see her go, and it was hard to see her go through such a yucky fight.  Her family started a blog so that people could follow her progress.  She is a very lucky gal, because she is beating this deadly disease and that makes us all very happy.  Beene had us follow the blog, and she made sure that we prayed for her and her son every night.  Miss Melanie definatly made a mark on our little girl.   

Miss Melanie made a surprise visit to the school (without her dr's knowing...), but these kids are her life and she missed them so badly.  When I picked Beene up from school, she was bursting at the seams to tell me about her special visit.  She said that she looked different (she had lost her hair, and had to wear gloves and a special mask to keep her safe from any germs, but that she wasn't scared because of Miss Melanies eyes and voice, they were the same as she remembers and that made her feel safe.  The whole school was beaming that day because of the fun surprise.

What a fabulous woman Miss Melanie is and what a fighter!  She is a miracle!
