To contact an old teacher...

I was going through an old school box recently and amongst the things was an address for an old school teacher. I remember her giving it to me and asking me to keep in touch. I did write a few times but then life happened and I never followed up.

This teacher taught me for 7 years and I’m also friends on social media with another teacher that she was good friends with. These two were brilliant role models for me growing up and were the two I turned to for advice when being bullied. I have messages from the one on social media a couple of times a year.

AIBU to think it would be a bit weird for me to send the other one a letter after all of these years? I’m in two minds. She may not even remember me?!

I really don’t think it’s “creepy” in the slightest. I’m an ex teacher. I love to hear from past students. It’s wonderful to see the adults those young people have grown into.

I'd love to get a letter after 25 years! Please do send it. She will be touched!

Quick update: I posted the letter this morning...! Still have mixed feelings about it, but will let you know if I receive a reply. I have a feeling I may not.

Hope you do. Even if you don’t it doesn’t mean the person isn’t happy to hear from you and remembers that time fondly.
