Remembering teachers that left an impact on your life helps to carry on their legacy. There are many fine teachers in Forney ISD, and my family has had the blessing to have had them as instructors through three generations of Forney ISD students. And even though I never attended school in Forney, I, too, was blessed to have many excellent teachers in my school career. One of those teacher/mentors was Mr. Jim Johnson at Texas A&M. On Sunday, February 28, 2021, a celebration of Mr. Johnson’s life was held for all of us Aggies and the other many, many people whose lives he had touched. He had passed away in May 2020 and, due to COVID, the memorial was postponed to the later date.

“Something that is holy is set apart as something special,” says Jennifer, 11. “The Israelites took all their gold earrings and jewelry and things like that and made them into a golden calf. Moses was on Mount Sinai so he couldn’t tell them not to. They worshiped the calf and considered it holy.
I am leaving my husband. Relax. I’ll only be gone for 10 days. My son and his wife are going to Hawaii. Grandma (hello, that is me) will be heading to Houston to take care of the grandkids. While this all sounds routine and mundane on paper, my mind is spiraling out of control with all the things that could go wrong. The Herculean efforts it will require to pull this endeavor off have me waking up during the night in a cold sweat. You see, I may be able to do difficult things, but I really excel at making super simple things very, very hard. There’s a meme out there in the world. How many times have I typed that line? It goes something like this. “Don’t invite me nowhere with complicated parking cuz I’m gonna circle around and go home.” Forgive the grammar. “It do be like that sometimes.” That’s another meme. Still, I am that person. Busy city? I will do a mock drive, on a different day, at the same time. Gotta be somewhere during rush hour on a Monday? I will do a practice run the Monday prior at the same time. Nighttime arrival expectation? You guessed it. I will drive there at night and, probably, also in daylight to memorize all the nuances. I don’t like unfamiliar traffic patterns, unexpectedly narrow parking spaces, surprise oneway streets, or any routes requiring NASCAR-esque sudden maneuvers. I hate crowds. I despise feigning calmness and asking directions when my insides are screaming in terror. Only children unite. I just don’t people well. I have crafted a beautifully simple life bereft of all these situations. But, what’s a grandma to do when the littles need her? It’s time to cowgirl up and get to Houston where I shall drive to unfamiliar schools with mysteriously unknown pick-up lines and strange parking spaces.
