Yesterday, was a day of mourning for me. I was at home waiting for my husband and son to return with their Mother's day surprises for me when I received a text message from my son's friend. "HE KILLED HIMSELF." He was a 12 year old boy in middle school that was a friend to everyone. He won the kindness award. He is the kid who always wears a smile. When my son was competing in a race, this kid stopped to retrieve my son's medicine that had fallen out of his pocket that another child kicked under the fence. This kid eagerly returned my son's wave after school. He was known as one of the "cool kids."
Today, the children wrote notes to this kid on his desk at school. The kids are getting ready to study for final exams and end of season sports tournaments.
This kid was an angel on earth to everyone he met and now is gracing heaven with his presence.
