Hello my dear Steemians,

I wanted to share the story about my teacher
Mr. Duffy was an ordinary retired teacher who taught us in school 5 years ago, already that time he was 60 years old but he loved teaching and always was fully immersed into his subject. He taught history and one of the favourite time in the history was the time of Tudors. Actually, for us children history was not really so important because it was past and we did not really care what happened then but were interested in what will happen in future.
Mr. Duffy has always a smile in his face and despite seeing our bored faces and distracted eyes that were fixed on our smart phones that we tried to hide he was not angry and I even suspect he knew everything what was happening in our mind and he accepted that majority might forget what he told but there are few of us who loved listen to him and to imagine what he was telling us.
He himself lived close to my house and every morning at 7 AM before he left for teaching he walked his dog, on weekends it was about 8AM and that was always the same time.
He had his routine path and always it ended on a lake where he stopped and was staring at water surface, I always wondered why the lake? My mother once told me that when he was younger and his wife was alive they had spent much time at this lake, but since he lost her he still returns to this place and spends about half an hour, luckily he has his friend a dog, that was his wife who wanted to have, now both Mr. Duffy and a dog got older but they still keep this tradition, in any kind of weather, like today when it is raining. Mr. Duffy always has his umbrella and this trench coat with hat and no matter how many years passed he looks the same, especially seeing him from back I always think that he will turn around and it will be the same young face of my kind teacher.
I would like to t invite following users @ifatniza @malenagarcia @mireyalongart
Hola amigo
A veces hay historias que no son verdaderas o que ocurrieron en el pasado pero don interesantes y es agradables escucharlas.
Pero la mejor historia es la del paseo de su perro todas las mañanas por el lago donde el se paraba a extrañar a su esposo que ya no estaba pero que siempre tenía un rostro amigable y de buenos amigos.
Gracias por la invitación saludos

How are you Mrs. @wuddi You have shared a very interesting story of your teacher Mr. Duffy. Mr. Duffy always had his companion dog with him and he always went to the lakeside with his dog on weekends because it reminded him of the good times he spent with his wife.

Yes, we did not think much about him as personality and having fmaily but now retrospective I wish I knew about him more that time.
