pickWe lost a kid from the youth center I‘m at in the summer (center runs year long) he so loved my macandcheese!...this was a beautiful kid: wrong place, wrong time. He was so gregarious he will leave a big hole. I‘m still reeling, kids too...didn‘t want to post this. I was undecided the last 2 days since it happened -but I think it‘s necessary. This is part of my life as a volunteer. I typically do 3-5 funerals a year. Tagged book is what we use.

TheBookHippie @Reviewsbylola Exactly: the news coverage is horrific. I don‘t even recognize the people they‘re talking about. Makes me scream: this was someone‘s baby, a friend, one of my kiddos: we loved him, he was beautiful ... he was not a thug. I can‘t imagine I just cannot. 5y
