For almost 3 yrs I've had a young lady come to my house 2 to 4 afternoons a week & taught her to sew. She takes longer to learn than most. (The home ech teacher at Midland High said that she would never learn to sew.) She always introduced me to others as her "Other Mother." I tried to get her to take some college classes. But the failure was more than she could take. When we took her to register (her DM, & I) the people at the college thought that her DM & I were 'partners.' They couldn't figure out why I was there. I was paying for her. This girl means a-lot to me. I called her my Apprentice 'cause I didn't know what else to call her. She is pregnant, & has moved to Austin to be close to her Fiance'. I'm so sad. She's been gone 2 weeks & I haven't heard from her.

PS She can sew!!!!!!
