I used to teach at a preschool and one of the girls in my class died of lukiemia 3 years ago november. Several times in the past month or so I have found myself thinking of her and her mom. I am thinking about wrinting her mom a note just to tell her that. Shortly after she died we moved across the country and I haven't talked to her mom since, but I was a large part of her daughters life for a couple of years.
I am just a little unsure of how to act. Am I going to look too crazy if I have to do a lot to track her down? Not thst I think she still doesn't think about the girl, but is it going to look strange to get a card from someone you haven't seen in three years? What are your thoughts, especially if you have lost a child. Would you want a note from thier teacher?

Sometimes, indivduals come into our lives and touch us so and they are unforgetable. It sounds like this little girl and her mom really touched you deeply. I have never lost a child, my loss was my dh. But, IMHO think receiving such a thoughtful note would be comforting. Knowing that others DO remember. Sometimes, life just seems to go on for people around us, following a loss. Having someone actually remember AND acknowledge the day would really touch me.
"just thinking of so-n-so today, wanted you to know" would be perfect ~ to be reminded that your loved one lived and touched the lives of others is never a bad thing 
I have a good friend with whom I shared a wedding anniversary, I've continued to get anniversary cards from her. I love that she has the wherewithall to acknowledge something that is painful to so many others.
