My heart is heavy tonight. I just learned that a former student/friend has died. Denial....Oh, no...are you sure? It couldn't be true.....But it is. A young man is gone. I taught him in 3rd grade...he was only my daughter's age. I was in the play, Dearly Beloved, with him. He was funny and happy and had ambition. He had gone from being one of my students to a friend. I'm so sorry for his family. I'm glad he was my friend. I'm glad I got to spend some of his last days with him. I have happy memories.
The other young man who was killed was married to one of my former students. My heart is breaking for his family...for his young wife and child.
I pray for these families...for peace and for understanding.
