CAPA Nominee--Walk Away

I'm surprised and happy. I got a CAPA nomination for Walk Away -- the story that Jenny Bent was kind enough to say "Good story. Sucky title."

My Son's First Grade Teacher

You've never heard of him, but I hope you and your kids had someone like him at least once. He was my son's first grade teacher not once but twice (my son has many developmental issues) and he made sure my son was accepted and nurtured and taught. He was kind, smart and just a good person. He died a few days ago from cancer. I'm sure everyone who knew him will remember him in good ways.

I figured I should give him a tribute somewhere, so you guys get elected.
