My colleagues welcomed me back to school warmly, and comforted me when I unexpectedly burst into tears when asked, "how did the drop-off at day-care go?" The High School English teachers were especially kind in terms of filling me in on what I'd missed and making me feel right at home; as if I hadn't been away for 15 months.
And then I was called to the School's main office between meetings. My thoughtful and generous (and out-of-state) high school friend Adrienne sent "Thinking of you and best wishes today!" flowers (see pic) to school. What a wonderful way to brighten the day (and now our apartment).
Today was tough, but the support of colleagues and friends certainly eased the pain. And I hope the days will get easier...
