Okay; maybe the title of this post is a bit dramatic. But when I got the news, I felt like I was being left.
Was I being dumped? No. A friend of mine decided that homeschooling was not for her, and decided to put her son back into regular school.
I will be the very first person to jump to her defense. That friend is a wonderful lady with two handsome, smart, but special needs children. I really think that schooling her son at home was simply too taxing for her, as she had so many other lifestyle and health tasks to manage with her sons.
She gave it her best shot, though, which is excellent. There are probably so many people out there who talk about giving homeschool a shot, but never go through it.
But I will miss her at co-op meet-ups. I will miss her happy, boisterous and engaging son. He was such a good influence on my shyer boy.
But we all have different paths in life. Different experiences and changes benefit all of us. It is simply kind of sad when someone "leaves" our life before we want them to.
