Sad Moments

Trevor had a hard day today. He came home from school quite upset and told me that one of his friend's father had been killed in a car accident this morning on his way to work. Trevor was in class with him when they came and pulled him out to deliver the news. Trevor said that he sits by the door and that he couldn't hear what they were telling him, but that he could see the look on his face when he heard the news. Trevor said that he keeps remembering that look over and over in his head. He thought long and hard about his friend all day and night. He and Todd are very close and I think that he kept thinking about that over and over. I am certain that he can not even comprehend the extent of what has just happened to his friend. He had a hard time going to sleep tonight. Trevor wears his heart on his sleeve. He is so tender hearted and sensitive.

I explained to him why it is so important to tell the people that you love, you love them. Show the people that you love, you love them. I explained the importance of sharing your feelings, thoughts, and moments with each other. But above all, I explained how life is so precious that we can never take for granted one second that we have with each other and the ones we love.
