When one of us is hurting, we all are.

For those of you Boonies who know Mr. and Mrs. P, I just wanted to say that I spoke to Mr. P this afternoon and that they are both doing better than they expected. "We're just shocked, you know?" he said.

For those of you who don't know, Mr. and Mrs. P lost her dad today to a hit-and-run driver.

The most recent story is here:http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/orange/orl-bk-pedestrian10112007,0,3426447.story?coll=orl_tab01_layoutThey misidentified the deceased as "she" but it's Mrs. P's father.

He was walking on a sidewalk when he was hit by the driver. It just reinforces how fragile life really can be.

I spoke to Mrs. M after school today, too, and she assured me that BHS was going to do all it could to help both Ps and their little girls through this. Check in tomorrow with a math or science teacher or find me in 313 to see what we can do. Coach K has already offered to mow all of their lawns--and for any of you who know Coach K, you know what that symbolizes. So let's help out if we can.
