coops 1,790 Posted February 12, 2012 I have just been given devastating news... one of the boys I have taught at my school has passed away today. He was just 15 years old. He was fit and heathy, a great sports man and a fantastic student; a very bright pupil who had the world at his feet. I need to embrace this life that I have been given as this news just hammers home that it can be taken away as soon as it is given. I know you guys understand... 2 kcsmicah and Loooou reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clk 3,519 Posted February 13, 2012 Aw, Coops. I'm so sorry for you and for his family. Losing a child is a horrible, terrible thing. The only benefit I took from it is the same as what you're taking away from losing your student: the knowledge that we never know what will happen tomorrow, so we need to live today to the fullest. I hope you can provide comfort to your grieving students. ~Cheri Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
