Remembering Regina

Tonight I was showing these rock photos in my class, and they reminded me to stop, and give a special remembrance to Regina. Regina is in these photos, taken at a birthday party in Alabama, in which I taught rock painting. We had a lot of fun that night. She was definitely crafty and witty. Also, I love this photo of Anne holding up a rock. Anne told me tonight that learning to rock paint has kept her sane, and that she will be forever grateful. The birthday girl Jennifer, is a long time friend of mine, but was especially close to Regina.. Since I was in Maine today, I was unable to attend Regina’s celebration of life. I wanted to take a moment to remember that the people that I teach, the moments that we share, and the things we learn from each other are gifts that shouldn’t be taken for granted. Regina was a gift to us. May she rest in peace.
