My Teacher
I don't have another opportunity to say what I need to say...This entry is not supposed to be corrected so...don't correct it please.
I got acquainted with Robert three years ago. He was among my first teachers on Italki. Since November 2018 I decided to focuse on studing English more seriously and I took lessons with Robert every week till the beginning of September. I have never thought we had something like an emotional connection with Robert but I really liked to talk to him. Every topic we discussed stuck in my mind and then I realised that I was seaching for new information about it...
Our last lesson on September, 3 didn't happen and I was worried about it very much and checked Skype every 5 minutes.
Now I know he passed away.
I asked myself if I was a good student? Could I be more disciplined, or motivated or even polite?
I wish I could be a better student.
Thank you, Robert, for everything you gave me as a teacher. I will never forget you.
Rest in peace, my dear teacher... I hope you are in a better place now.

Dear Marina,
thank you very much for your reply. I hoped that my entry could help some Robert's student to find out what happened...It's important to know about such things even if they are very sad....

Dear Надежда,
I would like to thank you for your message. I was taking lessons with Robert for more than 2 years twice a week... My last lesson was on Sunday the 1st September, we planned the next subject to discuss for this week-end…
Yesterday, I was really worried when I realised that Robert were offline for 6 days and tried to find what has happened. Today I found your post and understood it…
I’m so sad… How fragile the life can be… I would like to thank you, Robert, for everything you taught me! You were the best teacher I ever had. I miss you very much and will never forget you… Thank you for everything!
Rest in peace.

Credit where credit is due, you teacher must have been really good as your thought process and writing style you developed with him is impressive. Keep writing as our abilities quietly fade away with misuse.
