One of our students passed away at the local hospital yesterday. I came home early today after canceling my second class so students could attend the vigil and seek support services. But although I'm home early, I feel tired and sad and my whole body hurts. I don't think I've ever met or interacted with this student--torn between relieved it's someone I didn't know and dejected that it's someone I will never know now.
Pic: Thanks to DST, the morning walk to Nu's school bus with Scout and Huck is in the dark again. Beautiful, haloed half moon in the sky today though.

Oh no, Maya, I am so sorry. What a sad thing. It's always sad when someone passes, but a young person is especially so. Sending hugs.
Oh that's so heavy and sad. This picture compliments the feeling really well-- its so lovely, too.
Thank you you, Nicole; thank you, Sarah.
I'm sorry for the loss of the young person, even if you didn't know him/her/them. It's sad and I bet it hits a small college community harder.
