Unforeseen Circumstances

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

Do you ever get really excited about plans, but then due to circumstances beyond anyone's control, the plans get cancelled at the last minute?
That's exactly what happened tonight, and it truly was no one's fault that the plans got cancelled. Everything can be blamed on weather and airplanes. Let me explain...

Back when I was student teaching last year, I was working with an incredible kindergarten teacher at my own elementary school. My family has known this teacher since, I don't know, I was maybe in kindergarten or first grade, something like that. I always liked her, even before I really knew her, just because she was one of those sweet teachers that makes everyone feel good about themselves. Of course, once I was able to start working with her through volunteering and then through college classes, I grew to like her even more and enjoyed being able to spend time with her. She's been so supportive of me in everything, from student teaching to my writing, and I was sad to say good-bye to her when we were moving.

Last month, this particular teacher wrote to me on Facebook and said that she would be going to Disney for Spring Break, and that if I had any free time, it would be great to meet up. Of course, I was looking forward to this and made sure to keep the day free that we could meet up. See where I'm going with this? Exactly, we were supposed to meet up tonight. She was supposed to check-in this afternoon, and then my dad was going to watch all of the kids so my mom and I could go down to meet up with her and her family.

I was excited for a few reasons... Obviously after working side by side with this teacher for so long and then suddenly not seeing her at all anymore, I wanted to see her again. But it was also just great to know that we'd be seeing someone from home, and it was going to be nice just to get out of the house. I feel like I rarely do anything because we just don't know anyone to make plans with down here the way we used to make plans with friends back in New York.

Unfortunately, as excited as everyone was for tonight, the airline had other plans. Flights were delayed, plans had to be rearranged, and the bottom line was that there was no way to get into restaurants at Disney Springs to meet up for dinner. It was sad, because everyone had been looking forward to it.

There was, however, a silver lining to this grey cloud of bad news. I may be able to go meet up with this teacher on Monday when she's going to Epcot! She told me that she would love it if I could come down and walk around the Park with them, and it looks like I may be able to do just that. Nothing's set in stone; after all, we know how easily plans get changed. Still, the possibility that we may still be able to visit while she's down here has cheered us all up. And if not? Well, I figure the odds are that everyone I care about will eventually make it down (or come back down) here for vacation at some point, or I'll one day make it back to see my hometown again and see everyone there. In the meantime, thank goodness for social media to keep us all in touch!

Your continued support means the world to me. From foster care to novels, and family to work experiences, I look forward to sharing more of my life with you each day. Don't hesitate to share your own stories with me or ask me questions about my life. Please don't forget to like and share my Facebook author page as well!

I’d greatly appreciate it if you would share this blog with friends and family through your favorite social media sites. If you’re sharing on Twitter, don’t forget to tag me (@TayTayK02) and use the hashtag #TaylorTalks.

Thanks!
Taylor

    My family started doing foster care when I was three years old. We took in nineteen children over the course of eighteen years, with our last placement leaving in December 2014. I'm the only biological child in my family, though my parents adopted five of my siblings.

    I love to share my perspective on the foster care system and share how my unique upbringing shaped my life.

    I'm also a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and lover of all things Disney! My career allows me the opportunity to find a little bit of Magic in life every day.


    I enjoy sharing my journey as a writer as well. Find my children's books on Amazon and keep following my blog for updates on future books that I'll be releasing!
