Hi Ruby, I think it's perfectly normal to feel down. You had hoped differently. The good news is, you did a great job, they liked you and enjoyed having you! AND, you have another permanent job ahead. I think endings naturally make us feel sad and down, though. All endings. And if you've had several over the last many years, it is only natural to feel down about it. Hold onto the positives. You have several! (((hugs))))
