A Surprise Visit from Mrs. O'Shea

MiniM.E. wasn't the biggest fan of going to preschool at the start. Or really, ever. There were lots of tears shed and lots of mornings of begging not to go. Even though once she was there, she always had a good time. But despite the dislike of actually going to preschool, MiniM.E. loved her preschool teacher, Mrs. O'Shea.

Even after her two years of preschool, we still tried to keep in touch and would sometimes get together for coffee at the bookstore.

But then the "worst thing that could ever happen" to MiniM.E. happened: Mrs. O'Shea moved away. There were tears for days.

MiniM.E. and Mrs. O'Shea have been pen pals since she left about a year ago, and MiniM.E. hasn't let a week go by without asking when Mrs. O'Shea is coming to visit.

Mrs. O'Shea did finally come back to visit and she and I decided to surprise MiniM.E. by meeting out for breakfast and a walk.

MiniM.E. was so excited to see one of her most favorite people in the whole world. And it was great to catch up. Maybe next time we'll have to take a road trip to visit her!
