Something I wrote to a teacher who was moving:
Dear ***,
I ask myself everyday why you have to go. You put a smile on my
face everyday. You weren’t just my favorite teacher, but a friend.
I loved to sing with you, and I am going to miss hearing your
voice. I hope you always remember me, and my class. We will never
forget you, that’s impossible. You’ve taught me well. You’ve taught
me many lessons in my lifetime. No one can ever replace you, but we
can always try to make room for somone else. You are an
unforgettable person, Mrs. Little, and that’s why it’s hard to say
good-bye.
