Grief Manifestation

Grief manifests itself if unpredictable ways. I picked Beckett up from school and there was a card in his cubby addressed to him. I waited until I got home to open it, and it was from his preschool teacher saying goodbye to him.

The next morning when I dropped him off I asked about his teacher. They confirmed that the day before had been her last day.

I cried for five hours. Literally. Uncontrollable sobbing. I just couldn't have one more person leave my life without saying goodbye.

Unexpected. Jarring. Wrenching. Awful.
