I understand what it's like to feel abandoned again and again and again. And when you crucially need someone to remember you, they forget. I think that our Ts make mistakes. On a very practical level, I'm sure your T did not certainly mean to make you feel upset with him. I'm sure he does not want you to feel abandoned, especially by him. This is part of the process. There are days or months when you will feel connected and then you will feel disconnected. Sometimes it's best to give someone the benefit of the doubt.
When you see him next, ask him if he knows he forgot about you. Tell him how much it hurt you. It sucks that you don't see him for 2.5 weeks. I hate it when our Ts do something and then they leave and we have to sit with our emotions longer than we would like.
Take care of yourself.
