Margie Kidd, a South Carolina teacher, died of COVID on September 28 after returning to school the previous month.
Jackson explained that her mother returned to the classroom in August, where she started teaching remotely from her classroom. But, despite the fact that there were no students physically there, she was still worried.
“The first time I saw my mom was Sept. 7 and it was heartbreaking,” she said. “She had lost weight and she looked so little and helpless, all hooked up to machines, lying in her hospital bed. That night, we found out that her condition had gotten worse and she was placed on a ventilator. That was the last day she was conscious.”
Jackson wants to remember her mother’s smile and warm spirit. “She loved telling jokes and texting funny memes to her family and friends every day,” she said. “She will truly be missed by so many people.”
