The glue stick with no cap
I was cleaning out my desk yesterday and found a glue stick. The cap was gone. It was completely dried out.And I laughed, because it made me think of Mrs. Chen — my kindergarten teacher. I don't remember much from being five, but I remember her. She let me cry when I missed my mom. She tied my shoelaces a thousand times. She probably went through a hundred glue sticks just like this one.I sat down and drew something inspired by her. Just a small thing. Not for sale, not for anything. Just because.If you had a teacher like that — the kind who made you feel safe when you were too small to explain what was wrong — this is for them. And for you.
