There are some teachers who just stick with you, and for me, that was Mr. Bishop, my 8th-grade English teacher. He was my favorite. But we also remember some strange things. Sometimes, during class, he'd just fall over in his chair. We kids would laugh, and he'd just laugh right along with us as he picked himself back up. Other times, he'd talk really slowly or just "zone out" for a few seconds mid-sentence. A few years after I left his class, I heard through the grapevine that he had to stop teaching. They said he kept having these "episodes" where he'd lose control of his body. That's when the truth hit me: he had multiple sclerosis. That was many years ago. And just recently, I found his obituary. He passed away in January 2022. It just really makes you think about all the quiet battles people are fighting every single day, often right in front of us, and we have no idea. 💔 #Teachers #LifeLessons #MultipleSclerosis #Nostalgia #TouchingStory #LifeStories #Health
