Waynesworld Merry Christmas, fellow 43Thingers!
I don’t know what goal to use for this entry, but I put it here, because part of me feels grateful that it didn’t happen to my son.
This morning at 7:42am, one of Adam’s classmates was driving to the job site, where they are doing the home building course and somehow, the young man’s car went off the road and struck a tree, killing him. Adam’s class heard about what happened at noon and they were given the rest of the day off. The boys who returned to school were met by a grief counselor. I received a call at 1pm from the school, informing us about what happened. The young man was only 19 years of age and had his whole life ahead of him. His parents must be crushed. He was well known and liked by his 14 classmates.
This afternoon, I spoke with my son about what happened. He called in to work and asked if he could stay home. He didn’t feel like going in from 3pm-6pm. Later on, I kept on thinking about my son’s car mishap two weeks ago and immediately realized that it all could have been so much worse. My prayers go out to the parents of the boy who was killed. May they somehow eventually find peace after learning the devastating news from this morning and the loss of their loved one.
