a jersey's smells of home (to 06s11)



it was the first and last package i'll probably receive from home...a neatly written envelope. they had 'warned' me earlier...that a class jersey was coming my way..arrived, it did. i like the combi of colours; white with streaks of red and blue. most surprising of all, it had 'prof k' embossed on it...a cheeky reference to our common love for x-men. me the teacher (heavens, not professor!), they are the mutants who needed a leader. k replacing xavier's on a sleek piece of jersey...

it came with a laminated poster, a warm collage of our best days in first quarter 2006. and their signatures. a note saying, 'come back soon'- another class whom i cared about and inevitably had to leave behind... they remembered and so did i.

it won't be long before i see them again. s11 and our collective fun, affection and gratitude for all that has been, and probably, will be.

thank u mutants...u know the jersey speaks and means alot to me...
