I recently graduated from high school. While I was there I met the most amazing teacher EVER. I loved her at first sight! (not in a romantic way but in the way y'all are talking about too) I am a quiet person so I avoided her for a long time but eventually I needed her help because I fell behind because I had a minor surgery. When I came to her for help she was so so warm and welcoming! She wrote me a pass to come see her before school anytime. She was so concerned about me and she didn't even know me. It was literally the best feeling ever. We ended up talking and hanging out in her classroom all day long. I would come in before school a little early and she'd sit with me and then I'd stay a little extra during lunch and then after school (her classroom was down the hall from my last class) she'd stop me and we'd talk some more. When her class ended I was devastated, but she ordered me to come see her after Christmas break anytime I needed her. Well school got back in after Christmas break and we became closer than ever. She offered to help me with an online class I had signed up for earlier in the year. She was now my mentor and my tutor instead of my teacher. We'd sit down early in the morning and talk and then during lunch. And then she gave me her phone number and told me to call or text her whenever I needed her. We didn't really text much, but sometimes I'd text her and ask her things or when she got sick and was out for a couple of days I sent her a little get well soon message. Towards the end of the year she began pulling me out of my 2nd class and letting me come hang out in her classroom because I wanted to. As far as telling her that I loved her I hadn't really. I more would say things or give her things to suggest the idea. Then everything changed. The school year ended and she gave me a huge hug on the last day. I knew something was a little off when she gave me that hug. Later on that summer I discovered that she was moving 757 miles away. I was heartbroken. I cried for weeks. We talked via telephone and email for the summer. She broke the news gently and I could tell she was not happy about leaving her job or her home but her husband had gotten a job offer he couldn't pass up and they thought it'd be best for their family. I told her I was happy for him and sorry she had to go. I'm not sure if she could tell or not that I was getting ready to cry so I ended the call. Since then surprisingly our relationship has gotten stronger. I had another year of high school to go and she continued to mentor me and help me along the way. I was still heartbroken for a long time that she was now a 12 and a half hour drive away. I sent her letters, emails, texts, pictures, etc. She sent me replies to all of them. At the end of high school I was so worried that I had become too attached to her I sent her a letter with all my feelings about her and told her I was working on letting go. She sent me a text saying that I made her cry and that she loved my letter and my feelings and that she didn't want me to let go. She told me that she planned on keeping in touch with me for a long time and expected an invite to my wedding. And that even though she'd far away she expects us to stay friends. This made me cry. It was the best thing she could've possibly said to me to give me some security. I often miss her still and I wonder if it would be weird for me to try to go visit her. I fantasize about going and spending a week up their with her and her husband and her daughter (her daughter is 2). I don't know her husband very well we've met twice or three times, but I know she tells him about me because she tells me his opinions on our discussions sometimes. :) I love my teacher and I miss her soo much! I don't think it is weird to love your teacher. They are people too and sometimes they just happen to be that special person that you need in your life.
is it normal that i wish my teacher loved me like a daughter
