There has been some sadness early on this Sunday morning. Before we even arrived to school, we learned there had been a shooting in a township in our school district. I learned after arriving to school that it appears to have been a murder-suicide of a married couple. While I don't know the family personally, or whether children are involved, it is sad. Before school I learned about a fire destroying a home near my hometown. After arriving at school, I learned that it is someone my sister knows rather well, and this man and his wife had lived in this house for over 30 years. They got their dog out, but the cat is still missing. It made me so sad to think about these people losing literally everything, and quite possibly a pet as well. I also learned some sad news when I arrived at school. I was asked if I could be in the same job for the bulk of the week because the gentleman for whom I am subbing today has a very ill wife. She seems to be weakening, and they expect to receive some bad news this week. This man has been a colleague of Andrew for nearly two decades, and it made me sad.
I am very grateful for my blessings in life, and praying for those in need!
