One of the teachers who moved away last minute at the end of the school year left a little ten year old student very heart broken. He has still kept in contact with the boy and sends him presents. For his 11th birthday he mailed him a pinata full of candy. But the sweetest thing is this teacher and his girlfriend are flying the boy out o Idaho this summer and spending an entire month with him! They have activities planned for every day that are fun and educational. The boy's biggest dream is riding on a fire truck. It is so sweet, it makes me cry. Sometimes I wish we could take one of "our kids" and take him to Colorado, but anyone close enough to us is like 14, and I am unsure of ever taking on that kind of responsibility, especially when I only get 2 weeks at a time in Colorado or wherever. I applaud those who do take kids out of here and show them other parts of the country and life.
