I lost a friend today. A teacher too. He perhaps has had as much influence on me as my father. He’s taught me as many things on life, about life as much as my father.
He once told me that the greatest of teachers are story-tellers at heart. I refused to believe him for long, but now I do. He also told me that the best teachers are those that turn their students into teachers for the rest of their lives.
I am a story-teller and teacher now. I think he’ll be reasonably pleased with how I turned out.
