Gonna get some homemade empanadas tonight

Tweet

I just got a text message from a former student. I became sort of a mentor for him during his sophomore year. He came out as transgender (biologically female identifies as male) and had issues with some peers. I gave him my cell # and told him to get in touch any time he needed anything. He came back and visited my class every single day before going to lunch last year. Needless to say we've stayed in touch. He actually came over one night several months ago to just hang out and catch up. He knows where I live. Somewhere along the way we must have talked about empanadas and I must have told him that I love them. He just texted me and said he is making some tonight and asked if he should drop some off tonight. I said "sure as long as they don't contain olives!" So I'll get a delivery of homemade empanadas this evening. Hooray! It will be good to see him again too. He has had his name legally changed and has started hormone therapy. He will have lots to share!
