letter of personal protest for the 12-14 year old set.

Oct 06, 2009 09:57

A letter I wrote for my students before school today - because ultimately I could not stand to use the sample I wrote two years ago. Used a story I have been telling in one form or another for 20+ years -- many will recognize it. Refrain in an ongoing theme as a fat middle school teacher in a fat-phobic world.

( Dear Eric Goldberg at the age of fifteen, )

present, school

I love you too! Didn't mean to make you cry. Especially when you are one of the people who taught me that Eric Goldberg was just straight up wrong....

No, in fact I am sure - with that beautiful fat fifteen year old girl.

Hugs.

Did you know that sometimes you do squeeze me and love me so hard and so right that the memories of the pain go far, far away? So glad you love me so hard. I love you, my daddy.
