Making Mother's Day cards. Child in my class came to me and said she might have to "save her card for next year as she won't be seeing her mum before Mother's Day."

That's very sweet of you all to say. I don't feel wonderful at all - been a bit tense and shrill recently, as the job and "life" has been getting to me a bit, but have to admit this made my day yesterday. And then this morning, she gave me a beautiful paper flower she'd made at Breakfast Club, in the favourite colours I often wear.

Lovely.
Had one like this at Xmas (I am a supply teacher)
Have to be careful sensitive as don't know personal circs.
Kids making Xmas card for parents/ relatives.
One of them (y7 one made one, loitered behind when the others went.
'It's for you, Miss.'
I thanked him, smiled. and when he left, cried buckets.
Have, and will, kept it.
Lovely boy - complicated family
