Prayer Requests
Today is Nicholas' first day back to school. When I dropped him off, I found out that several days ago, a teacher unexpectedly passed away. She was young (in her 40s), extremely vibrant and wonderfully nurturing.
While this teacher was not currently one of Nicholas' teachers, she was his teacher over the summer. And because the school is very very small, Nicholas still had daily contact with her. One of her sons was in Nicholas' class last year; he and Nicholas still played together during recess and after school.
Please think positive thoughts for the family (especially for the three young boys who lost their mother) as they grieve and transition to life without her. And please think positive thoughts for the teachers who must explain death to preschoolers.
Today, my heart is heavy.
29 spoke up!:
Oh, Shauna, how tragic. I am so sorry. I have no other words, just positive thoughts for you...
Oh no, that is so terrible! How tremendously sad for those boys. Many thoughts for them today.
3 young boys? Ooof. My heart just broke. That hits way too close to home.
Oh, sweetie, I'm thinking of all of you!!
I don't know at what age someone becomes "old enough" to go - but I do know that forty is way too young. Those poor kids.
My prayers are full today.

How incredibly sad! It does remind one how incredibly short our spin on earth can be. Prayers en route for her precious kids. xo.
One of my son's preschool classmates passed away in September. And, when my daughter was a student there a few years ago, a boy was hit and killed by a Mom in the school parking lot. Both tragedies were horrible for everyone at school, but the teachers handled it so well. They showed such strength and compassion and seemed to know just what to say to those kids. I wish that for your school family as well.
oh, that is so very sad. i'm sorry i didn't have a chance to read this until now...but my thoughts are with this family.
momo...holy moly! My prayers and thoughts go out to that family. How tremendously sad.
