    Yesterday I received the outcome letter from my meeting with my Headteacher on Monday.  She had emailed to apologise about it seeming so formal before I received it and telling me not to get hung up with the formality and to assure me the support is there.

    As a result I was supposedly prepared for what it might say but when it arrived I was totally taken aback.  I text to arrange to speak to her and I have just come off…

    I had very little sleep last night worrying about my welfare meeting today at 1.30pm.  I was dreading it but I was definitely better at coping with going in and was much more communicative than last time.

    This time there was a new HR woman as the other one had left since my last meeting.  I wasn't too keen on her as she fired a few questions at me and I didn't think that was her role.  Don't get me wrong I suppose…

    Strangely once I was there I felt further away from mum and realised…

    It’s 3 months today since I held my wee mums hand and said goodbye to her.  I told her I would be ok if she was too tired and needed to go.  I told her my dad, Gran and Auntie would be waiting for her and I’m still confident they were.  Just before she passed away she opened her eyes and smiled at me.  After she took her last breath she looked so peaceful and contented and I’m sure she was happy to see them again…
