Retirement Banquet

Tonight we went to a retirement banquet for my mom. It was really fun! All of my brothers and sisters-in-law were there, as well as one niece, my parents, and I. My brother gave a really nice tribute to my mom. He started by saying that our family has four generations of teachers, my mom being a third generation teacher. He talked about my mom's legacy as a result of her 41 years of teaching child development (among other classes) at the high school here. He said that each time her former students read a book to their child or have the patience to teach them to ride a bike, my mom's legacy lives on. He did a nice job and it was rather touching. I might have teared up a little...maybe. :)
