Heart broken
One of my kids that I taught 8 years ago killed himself today. He was such a sweet soul. He was a special needs student, but he always had a huge smile on his face. He wore jeans and boots every single day and gave the best hugs. His family was…strange. When I taught him his sister almost drowned while they were fishing. She just decided to jump out of the boat to try swimming to shore. He was usually dirty and I think he only showered once or twice a week. That smile, though. I remember it, and the hugs. One of my other kids said he had been bullied really badly in high school. It just breaks my heart.
Oh, this is so sad. There’s not much else to say. ((((Hugs)))) to you.
