She knew I was upset and she felt really bad. Her birthday is in September so that summer I thought maybe we'll get her another for her bday....wouldn't you know it she found it in August! In the couch! She has taken VERY good care of it since.
My husband is also out of work and I explained to her what a sacrifice this was.
I talked to her tutor this morning and she is going to check her porch for me to see if it's at her house. If it is, I will sit and have a very serious discussion with her. After all the dust settles, I'm confident she won't make this mistake again.
