My boss retired today, and I can't quite believe that when I go to work next week, he won't be there. I've worked with him 9 years, and he has been so, so good to me. So encouraging, accommodating, and really wanting me to progress and do well, but always respecting my decisions. And really good fun.
I cried like a baby yesterday after he gave me a lovely gift and card, and today, I think I was in a kind of denial as he left.
I will speak to him again, but not often. He lives nearby, but we won't maintain a friendship. Although he is lovely and I told me he is there if I need him, he's not the type.
I know it's life and I feel stupid, but he has been a big part of my life and has genuinely changed it for the better.
I can be very emotional (in private) but I lost my parents when I was young, and most days now I'm kind of "shit happens", even about that, so why do I think I'm going to find this really hard?!
