I'm sorry. I tried and tried to think of something funny to write, but I can't. My sons are hurting and so I'm hurting. Yesterday a 15 year old girl killed herself. Both sons #2 & #3 knew her. Both are in pain and in shock. And I have no answers. I can't take their pain away or make it any better. Neither son has ever known anyone who died, let alone a classmate. And a classmate who was funny and beautiful and happy. Or so it seemed.
I've never known anyone personally who did this, so I'm at a loss. All I can do is hug them and let them cry. And cry with them.
So I'm sad. And if I'm honest I'll tell you that I'm also angry. I'm angry that she didn't feel she had anyone to turn to and I'm angry at her for hurting so many, many people.
So I thought about pretending that I'm not sad and writing something funny anyway. But I decided I didn't want to pretend.
Sorry for the zero entertainment value. Tomorrow is another day.

Just got back from Atlanta. I'm catching up on your blog and "No humor today" was the first one. I'm sick about the 15 year old girl. I'm sure she didn't mean to hurt anyone, just too much pain for her to think about others or a complete accident? I'm hugging the boys, too. FFL
