Death

In the past 10 days, three deaths have deeply affected me.
One, January 12th, a high school friend died. I don't live in my hometown, so I read about it a week late. Then, Friday January 13th a former student was killed in a car accident. He was a big troublemaker in 7th and 8th grade, and I had some ill feelings for him every once in a while, but now he was 28 and had turned into a very nice, productive adult. I saw him a year ago and he was so excited to introduce his wife and two children to me. He was so honored to tell me how well he was doing. I left that conversation feeling so good about him. Then reading his obit made me cry. He had another child on the way. Three days ago, January 20th, my neighbor and friend was killed in a 4 wheeler accident. It was his day off, one of a few. He worked so hard. He and his wife were separated. His son has been friends with my 16 year old daughter for years. I have been depressed all weekend. I have never really talked to his wife, she was very stand offish. So I went over to take food and felt very not wanted. I realize it was the grief. Gosh. Poor families.
