Hello, dear.

I am as invisible as one can be and still be paid by your child's school system. Certainly your child doesn't know my given name, and odds are that even my principal would refer to me only as "the clinic lady." Don't you think there is a charm--maybe even a timeless quality--to that?

I want you to know that I look out for your children in my own quiet way. Frankly, I am a little worried about some of them.
