Mary Kay Letourneau Update

Anyone who lives in the  Pacidic Northwest knows about Mary Kay LeTourneau and her honey Vili Fualaau. She first met him when he was a student in the elementary school she taught at.
As I recall he was six when they first met.

I thought I'd share an update on the case because admittedly, I am fascinated by Mary Kay.
I've ready every book written on her, been to the scene where she was arrested by the Burien Marina with Vili in her car, saw her Perp Walk in the courthouse.
She had so much, including a  gaggle of kids, a handsome hubby who loved her, a job and school that valued her. Yet she gave it all up for the only answer she would give.
Love.

Love.
Powerful word.
It leads us to feel whole or empty, valued or non-existent, respected or demeaned, cherished or detested.
In some, the words "I love you"  transforms the world into magical, gleeful, safer place.
To others, the words bring conflict from never hearing them at all, Or hearing them too much.
For some, the word "love" signifies contentment.
For others, it's a prison.

There's an old saying,
"Leap and the net will appear."

In Mary's case, she leapt and the net never appeared.
Even though she thought it was there. It was not.
She has taken a huge fall from grace.
Imho, by appearing at and promoting the following event, she went "splat" in the class-act department.
Again.
