School boy dies..

We had to keep Tiana home from school today because she has another bad cold. You know how that goes, one kid gets it, then they all get it! Anyway, she's in bed sleeping right now.

We received some really bad news from her school yesterday. It seems that a fourth grade boy suddenly died yesterday morning, right before he was to get ready for school. They didn't say what happened to him, so at this point, I only know that he suddenly died. This just goes to show you how fast life can end, whether your young or old.
This tragedy reminds me of a story about a young lady who I met in Long Beach California several years ago. At the time the woman who raised me (my aunt) was confined to a nursing home there, so the mentioned young lady decided to go with me to see her. As we talked, she told us a story about how she had a sudden heart attack at age 28! I was shocked at what she said, 28 and already had a heart attack..wow! She said that she was walking down a street in Long Beach when suddenly it happened, she didn't know what it was at the time, but she later found out after visiting her doctor. She said that she no longer takes life for granted, I guess anyone would feel that way.

If I find out what happened to the young boy, I'll post it. Tiana said she saw him at recess on the playground, but didn't actually know him. Tiana is only in second grade.

We wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving wherever you may be, we value your friendship and wish you well.
