I held them tight for a moment when they came to school late today after the big fire at their home. I am so glad you are ok I said and then walked down the hall in tears. They were alive and I was so grateful. Still such sadness today, as one of my students died in a fire. He was only 17 years old. I had him last year in my class. Tomorrow there will be more tears and I am just horribly angry tonight. Enough, damn it enough already.
