Teach me sadness

Allie has fallen a little in love with each of her three grade school teachers. She said that Mrs. Grady, her kindergarten teacher, is her absolute favorite of the three. Mrs. Richard, her current teacher, is her second favorite. And, only because there are but three places to be had, Mrs. Mace is her third favorite.

Sadly, Allie's school year with Mrs. Richard is going to be cut short tomorrow. Her teacher needs heart surgery and she won't recover in time to return to the classroom this year. To say that Allie is crushed by this news is an understatement. At random times, she starts crying because she thinks about Mrs. Richard.

She's a sensitive child anyway (except when it comes to squishing bugs), so this is really hard for her. We keep telling her that crying isn't going to change the situation and that crying is just going to give her sore eyes and a stuffy nose and that crying in front of Mrs. Richard is just going to make it harder for Mrs. Richard. But she can't help it. She's sad.

I'm sad too.
