**Some Connections Last a Lifetime** ❤️
This weekend brought me one of those very special moments that makes your heart smile.
Two of my former Harpeth Hall students, **Tricia Ptomey Patterson and Lynne Ann Hampton Biscay**, were in Nashville and took the time to come visit me.
I taught Tricia and Lynne Ann dance from 6th grade through 12th grade, so I had the wonderful privilege of knowing them through some very important years of their lives. I remember the girls they were—their personalities, their energy, their laughter, their determination, and the young women they were becoming.
And now, many years later, here they were sitting with me again.
What struck me most was how wonderful it felt to see the women they have become. They are both truly amazing women, and it was such a joy to catch up, laugh, reminisce, and hear about their lives.
There is something very special about seeing people you knew when they were young and realizing that, even though so much has changed, the essence of who they were is still there.
I loved hearing their stories and seeing the confidence, warmth, humor, and strength they carry with them today. It made me proud—not just because I knew them as students, but because I genuinely like the women they have become.
And the fact that they were both in Nashville, had busy lives and places to be, and still made the effort to come spend time with me made the visit even more meaningful.
Sometimes years can pass, but when you see someone who was once such an important part of your life, the connection is still there.
**Tricia and Lynne Ann, thank you for coming to see me. You made my weekend very special. It meant more to me than you know to have time together again, to remember the past, celebrate the present, and see the amazing women you have become.**
I am so proud of you both and so grateful that our paths crossed all those years ago—and that they continue to cross today.
Some people are simply part of your story forever.
