Hi Janice it’s Allan Swift I’m certain that we met I think we even talked for a little while there was another girl that was with you I knew that you were Janice soul I wasn’t sure who the other girl was but I’ve had many regrets since that day because you asked if I knew who you were first and for the sake of the other girl I said I didn’t I didn’t know but I knew it was you because you sat in front of me in history class and of course you sat around me many times over the four years there you were always at work very very pleasant person and I’ve had many memories of you over the years of how nice you always were to me I wanna wish you a happy birthday I hope you’re not turning 72 this month like I am on the 29th but if you are I’m so thankful that it appears that you’re alive and well I loved reading about how you having a daughter and a son Jennifer and William sounds so nice we have been married 40 years my wife and I and we had two sons from our own bodies and then we went to Russia just before 911 and brought our girl back so in our immediate family is Arren spelled ARRENN Noah. and OH and then my wife’s name is Marella and we renamed my daughter from Russia Rella RELLAI know you didn’t need a spelling lesson so I’ll stop doing that stuff
My wife has been a little bit complex over the years but I was a minister for 10 years the teacher for about 35 and believe it or not I’m out around the wilderness of middle of Florida cutting scoring lines in doing all kinds of other stuff to keep the schools looking nice I live in Pinellas county and Seminole but I work in Palm Harbour these schools are like mansions the kids that go here are so fortunate my favorite schools are the ones that have the autistic and down syndrome kids they’re very special
In my life as a teacher I had many many wonderful experiences but the greatest came 16 years after I stopped being a teacher two girls from grammar school had called me on a Sunday afternoon one of them’s name was Hastings the other Sasha Hastings said Mr. Swift Sasha wants to hear one more thing from you I never had anything like this happen here she was in hospice and dying and Hastings brought her back from New York City and called me as soon as Sasha said she wanted to hear from me I ask God what I possibly could say and I remembered that once when our minister left Gave everybody a dime and on the car that it was pasted it said every time you see a dime remember God loves you and you’re worth something I’ve handled hundreds of them out over the many years but that day I said to Hastings tell Sasha Mr. Swift says God loves you and you’re worth something the very next day I’m certain God said those very words to Sasha as she left this world and went to eternity Sasha was a victim of tremendous offenses against her when she was a child and as teachers we missed it and didn’t find out soon enough but Conn came back and found her and reach down to her and that is the happiness in my life and the join my wife to know that over the years God was able to reach people especially the ones that were so hurt and so desperate and I just wanted to share that with you Janice because you were special and I just saw your birthday coming up and I appreciate you always gave me respect and I really appreciate that I was a real loser Back in grammar school but I’m so thankful in high school God reached down and touched my wife and he can do it for anybody but I just hope that you and your family have been blessed by God that you’re all healthy and you wanna have just a wonderful rest of your life and I truly hope that I see you in eternity by God‘s grace I’m planning on it.
