This morning I found out that my good friend and co-worker's lung cancer has returned. She'll be having surgery the last week of June. Curses and multiple bad words.
Then after our last staff meeting for the year, I found out that one of my favorite people here and one of my regular walking partners has decided to not return next year.
Dealing with both of those today hit me like a ton of bricks. I barely made it home after the staff meeting before bursting hysterically into sobs. When I'd calmed down a little bit, I called NE. He was so sweet, just listening and asking a few questions here and there. Then when he saw I was calmer, he started doing his best to make me laugh. He is such a good man.
I briefly saw what happened in OK today, but after getting the hint of multiple dead children, decided to not look into it too far. Had enough to handle already. I will probably read about it later tonight though.
Some of us got our contracts today, and the rest will tomorrow. That includes me. Days like today ... I wish I was in NE and not here, or NE was here ... Why do adult friends have such a hard time giving each other a hug? Or even a light touch on the shoulder?
This place is going to be so dreary for me next year without my teacher friend. She is truly one of those one of a kind type of people who *really* know God on a personal level.
Not a good day :(

I also hope you find some new "kindred spirits" in next year's new staff members.

I hope I find someone kindred again too. Sigh.
NE sent me the sweetest ecard this morning. I feel so blessed to have him back in my life.

Prayers offered for you during this difficult time. It is all just part of the journey, though it doesn't make the journey any easier. So glad that you have the support of NE. I hope you have a better day today ...
