Tough, Very Sad Day

thewayiam

I attended a funeral today for the mother of three students from my school - aged 6, 8 and 11. I knew the family very, very well and taught 2 of the kids. She was murdered in her home by her boyfriend. These things just don't happen around here, so it was such a shock (not that it would be any less shocking, anywhere, I realize). These kids endured a painful divorce a couple of years ago, and now this, at the hands of the man who stepped into a father role in their family. It was so sad.

Still recovering with this painful hematoma, exhausted, and sooo emotional lately, it was a tough day. Those poor children.

In light of this sad day, and feeling so sad for Amye's loss, I held our LO so tightly and just cried and cried today, counting my blessings.

Just needed to talk. Thanks for listening.

It's so easy to get caught up in the day-to-day. It's sad that it sometimes takes a tragedy to pause and be thankful for what we have.

What a tough day. It's been a tough week.
