Just got a letter home today to tell us to prepare our children for the news they will receive tomorrow - that their teacher is close to losing her battle with cancer. She's been off school the last term, and that was upsetting enough for the children. I feel so sad

I dont know what to say to my daughter, almost 11, as shes been missing her teacher dearly. Im worried about her tomorrow and am thinking maybe I should pick her up and not catch the bus home in case... Man its gonna be tough. Such a beloved teacher of 16 years at the school.
