Gone

One of my students died last night. He had a bad heart. Several transplants didn't seem to help. He seemed fine all year, a little weak, but I didn't think much of it. He had been out of school for several weeks. I heard the absence was due to a ruptured appendix, so I was shocked to get the email the morning.

That family has it rough. I heard they are about to lose their house, and they have another teenage son who suffers from traumatic brain injury after a recent car accident.

The funeral is on Monday, if they raise enough money.
