Remembering Zachary- it’s always hard to figure out what to say during this time of year. Back in 2011, we were busy in our lives knowing things were changing outside of our control. Shortly Zachary took his last breath. While the bipap was putting air in his lungs he had been ushered into the presence of God.
I was blessed to hold and take care of one of my heroes. The way he lived was way beyond his years. He was strong. He was simply a light. he smiled and stayed happy even when life got rough.
We are now 13 years separated from Zachary. It was a number that didn’t realize would make me sad but guess what it’s been a struggle. The further we get the more people don’t know him or his smile. The further we get the harder it is to gain items to honor him. The further it gets the harder it gets for me to cope.
Remembering Zachary is a way of remembering his life but also his smile. I try to do something to honor how strong, loving and amazing he is was. This year I would love to gain writing utensils for the teacher and scholars of my school.
My school is a 3.4,4th grade school. We have roughly 850 scholars and they all write, draw and color. Learning uses all sorts of materials and so I would like each teacher to be given a goodie bag of those items. Truth is if you ask any teacher they will say that pencils disappear, markers loose lids and well colored pencils keep breaking. This means that we always need more.
Items I would like to include:
-pencils
-pens- colors, black and blue
-crayons
-colored pencils
-markers- thin and normal
These are items that are starting to be on back to school sale so I would love help. You can buy off Amazon, from Walmart, send a check/gift card/cash, send direct items, or bring them to me. If you have questions please let me know.
Thank you- please help and share
