I think I might be sick.

You moms out there.. do you remember what it was like to say goodbye to your child's first teacher at the end of the school year? Or maybe their/your favorite teacher, at the end of the year? Matthew has some great teachers, but one in particular is just so nice..

His last day of class in next Wednesday- on Thursday they're going to the zoo, but we will be in Pennsylvania (back to see the Lyme doctor), so he won't be there. Today, this one teacher walked us out of the school and told me all about his day (they went to the park).. then she told me it's her last day, as she won't be in next week. Her mom just had a stroke. So she gave Matthew a hug, and she gave me a hug. She said it was a pleasure to work with Matthew (and I know she was sincere- she just has a way with him). Of course I started crying. I knew I was going to, but it's not like I wanted to. She said she wanted to say goodbye when she had the chance, because she knew I'd cry. LOL

I think that honestly, not only do I appreciate her as a person and a teacher, but I really wonder if Matthew (especially considering his behavioral issues) will be quite as understood and appreciated by other teachers. I know all of them at that school work with kids of all sorts, so to a point they're used to tantrums, etc.. However, I guess I have some fears that they'll think negatively of him as a child. I dunno.. I can't really explain it, I guess. I just feel sad for a number of reasons right now. Sick to my stomach, in fact. Sigh..
