I couldn’t stop thinking about my students yesterday.

I drove to check on them delivering weekend food 🎒’s & Happy Meals to fill their bellies and their 💕 before the ❄️ returns.

Good morning! The boys are 5 today! They are still sick and we gotta watch Seb’s oxygen saturation, but I am hopeful. 🤞
We can *all* do hard things.
Seb proves it daily 💪 and this little 4’11” body somehow carried two humans. 😱🤣
