Be gentle with yourself, earthmama. You could try journaling about the sadness so it doesn't get lost completely and share the journaling with T. Kind of tuck the sadness inside the journal where it can be safe. I know it's difficult to not share with T with things as they arise, but if you write it down you can still share the essence of it with T on Monday. Take very good care of you and little you this weekend.

"What is Real? asked the Velveteen Rabbit one day.

"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."

"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.

"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."
