Lydia and Alan talked a lot over the phone during the summer. They didn't necessarily talk every day, but when they did talk, it was at least two hours. During Lydia's first año of high school, she ended up having the first class of the día with Alan. The class was Computer Applications. The class was a joke. The teacher didn't really teach anything. The only reason he wasn't fired is he was the girls' baloncesto coach. Lydia had a saying for those situations: "Those who can't teach are coaches. Those who can't teach o coach become principals." Still, she enjoyed Alan's company. In December, Alan did not mostrar up for three days. Lydia was concerned he might have the flu. She called to make sure he was okay. His mother said, "He's sleeping right now. He just had surgery. He had to have the shunt in his head replaced." Lydia later learned that the purpose of this shunt was to relieve pressure on the brain. This was part of Alan's birth defects, unfortunately. She was glad to know he was okay, but she felt lonely. She was really happy when he returned. In March of the same school year, Lydia became very sick. A CT scan revealed that she had appendicitis. She had surgery. She had to stay at the hospital overnight, because the surgery was done at 8:00 at night. When Lydia returned inicial the following evening, Alan called to make sure she was okay. She explained what happened. He said, "I'll get off of here and let tu rest." She made a full recovery, and all was well the rest of the school year. Lydia even turned sixteen over the summer.

60smusicluv This part was sweet.

RocknRollSoul60 Yes. I can understand why Lydia got worried about Alan when he didn't come to school for three days.

Peaceandlove67 I can, too.

80smusiclover1 So can I.

BingoPB Especially if he doesn't normally miss more than one day.

Rubyrings I like the way Lydia and Alan's concern for each other's operations was written here. That teacher, though... I can't believe a school would hire someone who can't actually teach anything....

BingoPB It happens all the time in the South.

A Message of Comfort and Assurance For My Friend

posted by 80smusiclover1

This articulo is a special request from Kayla. So, here I go.

I know you've been feeling down recently, and that this Valentine's día is going to be más painful for you. Your life hasn't always been easy, and I'm really sorry for everything you've been through.

However, I just would like to remind tu that tu are never alone. The friends that you've made here care deeply about you, and we're always ready to support you. If the clouds get dark, I'm here to help tu find the silver lining.

I admire that, despite all of the bad things that happened, tu never became bitter. No matter what other people say, tu are wonderful just the way tu are. Remember that tu are loved forever!

Also, remember the lyrics to one of my all-time favorito! Beatles songs: "Any time at all, all tu gotta do is call, and I'll be there."

Peace and love

I don't know who pissed in your Cheerios, but that's no reason to take it out on me. I didn't do anything to you!" He said, "Well, I feel like yelling, and you're here, so guess what!" She threw a quarter at him and said, "Here's a quarter! Call someone who cares!" He said, "You're fired!"
