Last week a student of mine, who graduated high school 6 weeks ago, passed away. No car accident, no illness, no stupid teenage choices, no drugs, no foul play. This young person died of natural causes. He just didn't wake up. How can that be?
Today was the wake, surrounded by students and families for which there was no comfort and no sense. The pain in that room was palpable. No one was immune, parents, children, students, alum, teachers, jocks, drama kids, robotics team. Trying to be strong was impossible.
Tomorrow we will bury him. Please hold your loved ones close tonight and every night. I know I will.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.
