Asking

I was walloped by this Mother's Day story.  In the Washington Post Magazine, Steve Hendrix writes about his mother, one of the first teachers in a new program in 1976 for gifted students. He says:

"I've often wondered what she meant to the handful of students who knew her in that school room. Wondered, but never asked."

In the article, he finally asks.
