I teach in 30 minutes but I just found out about the death of a child whose family I'd helped, which is... hard. Very very very hard.

An accident. A fluke motor accident, & coma for two days before calling it... after all the struggle to give the family a better future, & while the littlest is still recovering from a secondary infection's impact on his spine.

Life in an indifferent universe is hard.

All we can do is hold each other in our hearts until our very brief time as witnesses is done.
