Today has been a pretty shitty day overall. I woke up this morning frustrated, hurt, upset, annoyed, pissed off, angry, sad, etc. over some personal issues that seem to repeatedly manifest themselves over and over again. I won't go into detail. All I can say is that I hope this will be the last time I have to deal with them, but something tells me that it won't be... ='/
Aside from that I discovered something of a far greater magnitude. Today I found out, via Facebook, that one of my highschool teachers, actually, 2 of my teachers, lost family members yesterday. My highschool teachers Mrs. Charles and her son (my physics teacher, Mr.Charles) just flew out to Illinois because their son/brother and his wife were both found shot in their house. He was only 31 and his wife was a mere 23 years old. Luckily, their 2 year old son was alive and well in the house. This is definitely the saddest news I've heard in quite some time, and it actually hits close to home. I don't really know how to feel about all of it, other than I am completely baffled as to how a human being could do this to another. Nothing could ever justify actions like these, and I am keeping the Charles family in my thoughts and prayers during this terrible time. I ask anyone else out there to do the same.
If any of my St. Lucy's alumni are reading this, please go on Facebook and search for the note that Mr. Kay's has sent out. In it he provides an address where you can send flowers, cards, etc. to the Charles family. What would be appreciated most, though, are donations made to help towards the cost of the funerals and a fund for the little son that was left behind with no parents. Thanks.
