Dear ex tutor of mine, I missed you so much. I know I am just another one of your many, many students in the past that don’t have any place, or give any thought to, in your current life right now and you are very busy with work, family, and of course, your current students.
I know I have no place in your life currently. And I know this is something I have to accept and move on. I know how foolish and one sided this “kinship” feeling is, and I am delusional to feel that way…
But you’ve always treated me so well and are always so sweet towards me, even with all my blunders. You cared for me in such a way that even my own brother does not. And gave me the warm kindness and patience that even my own father does not give me. You never put me down and always encouraged my dreams and I felt safe and relaxed around you even more so than around my own parents. Under your tutelage I really got to shine and be me. And you always called me your best student, I feel so touched. I hope I am still your best student, to this day.
You know, am really happy that you are now a teacher in a public school where you can now reach out and brighten the lives of students en masse.
I wish we caught up more often. You are in many ways the big sis that I always wanted to have. Thank you for being my “sis” even if only for a few years.
