Flowers for the Dead

Posted in
I have just learned that a childhood friend died of cancer yesterday. We hadn't been in touch for awhile, but my memories of times together in elementary and junior high school are clear and treasured. He was a person of unflinching faith, profound kindness, and unquenchable optimism. He deserved better. Rest in peace.

Whoa. Scary. Did I know this person? Did I teach them?
I've already lost a handful of former students -- and another one is dying from cancer now.
This is not good news.
