The Geeky Grandma with an Encouraging Nudge

A Tribute to a Mentor

Episode #32

Jill McCarthy

Today, I will be sharing my story as a tribute to Ms. Marion Higman Furletti , she was my fourth-grade teacher and she was one of the most influential people in my life. I still carry the lessons and some practices she taught me to this day. Ms. Higman’s impact on my life will never be forgotten. She was more than just a teacher, she was a friend that saw me, a mentor, and a role model. I will always be grateful for the time I spent in her classroom and for the lessons she taught me. Unfortunately, she passed away but she will always be in my heart. Taking our loved ones for granted is simple. We're too busy to appreciate our time with loved ones. After their death, we learn how much they meant to us, which may be costly. We should pause to appreciate our loved ones while they're still here. Time for loved ones is crucial. Work, school, and other commitments may easily devour our time in a busy life. However, we must make time for our loved ones, whether that means making frequent phone conversations or visits or simply taking a few minutes each day to catch up. Showing care is another way to cherish our loved ones. Sending a kind text, letter, or just listening may do this. Showing others, we care helps them feel appreciated and strengthens your relationship with them. Our words have more power than we think. It's crucial to consider the influence of our words, whether in person or online. We may foster optimism and love by being attentive to how we communicate with others. Treasure every minute with loved ones. Life is delicate, and we never know when we'll have to say goodbye to loved ones. That's why we must treasure every time with loved ones, whether it's a great celebration or a quiet moment. Finally, we must value our loved ones while they are alive. We should spend time with them, show them we care, watch our language, and appreciate every minute. Never take people for granted—life is too short. We never know how much time we have, so let's cherish those around us.
