Happiest of birthdays! πŸ’

πŸ‘‘ Lauralyn Welland Taylor πŸ‘‘

A fierce educator.

A kindred spirit.

A treasure and a blessing.

That’s what you are.

Through my pain and devastation, I’ve been able to heal through my writing. Through my expressive advocacy and through my bold activism. You pushed me beyond my limits and made me fall in love with the art of English Literature.

I don’t take your existence lightly because had it not been for you, a large part of me would not have reached its purpose and be able to walk in my divine calling.

It was a true pleasure being a student of yours, and now a privilege to call you my friend. I hope this chapter is filled with all the love, all the warmth, all the compassion, and all the encouragement you have so freely given to others.

Thank you for existing.

Cheers! πŸ‘‘πŸ’β™₯️🫢🏼πŸ₯³πŸŽ‰πŸŽŠπŸŽ‚πŸ‘ πŸ“–βœ’οΈ
