Another one of my students is gone.
Javari was absent yesterday - which was a little weird, but nothing so unusual that I did anything. Then, when he was absent again today I thought that maybe he was away for a long weekend. Nope. He's gone from my roster and I just confirmed it in the office.
He's got these adorable cheeks and a smile that lights up his whole face. I'm a little worried because he is one of my students that gets picked up by different family members all of the time. I know his mom just had a baby and I'm guessing they need more space.
He is a student that I have spent weekends strategizing about. Someone who keeps me up at night. I know that I'm never going to feel like any of my work is done, but why does the rug keep getting pulled out from under me?
You have to look at the area you are in and the problems that are there dealing with families which I know you already knew. This is something new in your life you have to learn to deal with. Sometimes it hurts, but you have good memories of the student. gp
