when your existence becomes necessary to others

Yesterday, I didn't come to class because as usual Monday period is used by my co-operating teacher for their oral. And these students seemed to forget about that. So today they asked me why and aw I felt touched when they said these.
"Teacher why you didn't come to class yesterday? We thought you don't want to teach us anymore. We felt so lonely."
"Why, did she scold you?"
"No, teacher."

I know maybe they're used to having me as their English teacher plus I meet them 3x a week. But this was the first time I feel needed as a teacher. Thank you so much my students. You have made my day today. I'm gonna miss these pretty and clever students of mine. Now I feel guilty for being happy to leave the school soon.
