Real Life

Today was a day. The highlights: (in red for a reason)

I went to sleep at 1:00 am last night.
I was called at 5:00 am this morning and asked if I could substitute teach.
I taught for the Biology teacher, who was the girls soccer coach.
The soccer team that had a scrimage last night.
The team who on the way home car pooled.
One of the teams cars were hit by a truck.
One of the girls died.
One's life is still on the edge.
The driver of course is doing the best.
I taught his classes.
In his room with pictures of the girls soccer team plastereed over the walls.
One girl that people could no longer talk to.
One girl who no longer smiled.
One girl who might live, but might not walk.
One soccer player who might not walk.
An one girl who will heal physically, but be haunted by guilt for the next 70 years or more.
All of whom were 16.

If you get a chance pray for Val and Lindsey and their friends. Pray for Amanda's family and friends, but not for her.
