So long, farewell (we'll miss you)

Today was not a good day. It started off alright, saw all my friends, got a 100% on my oral presentation in spanish (that I was up all night doing!) and then as I was in 2nd block and the announcements came on over the intercom, my day completely fell apart. Richard, this special needs boy from my school that I have send hours upon hours working with since March of last year.. Died over the weekend. I couldn't believe it. It was just Friday that I was spending time with him.. Talking to him, playing with him, watching him smile.. And now hes gone. I completely lost it.. Started crying in class to the point that I was in hysterics and that my teacher had to remove me from the class. Ended up just leaving school, I couldn't be around there. Walked the 20km home and it took a couple hours but I feel it was just what I needed. I was on the goose soI had the freedom to cry... to let myself express everything I was feeling.. I think it was exactly what I needed.

Richard Poole, I know your up in heaven with god now and I want to say that im going to miss you so much hunny, you really were one of gods wonderful gifts.
