"We've walked through the last 10 years together."
Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, December 27, 2016

By Amy Eddings
In Dr. Suzanne Darmer’s office, there was a large pink hatbox crammed with colorful handmade cards from Ada’s 1st through 6th graders. She pulled one out and read it out loud.

“‘You did an awesome job, we will miss you,’” she said, her voice growing thick with emotion. “Merry Christmas, sincerely, Robert. Eight years old.”

Another one read, “Great job! Have fun in your retirement!” written in perfect block letters.

“My heart is just so full of joy and tenderness!” she exclaimed. “It means they’ve opened their hearts to me, and vice-versa. It means we’ve walked through the last 10 years together.”
