What a fucked up day....

**Bostonian** · 04.27.01, 11:29 AM

Well I can honestly say this has been the worst day of my life.

For one, one of my all time favorite guitarists disclosed he has/had cancer. Secondly, I am a religious school teacher in Newton Massachusetts, and if you have seen the news today, there was a four-fatality accident in Canada. One of my students was killed in the accident this morning, so needless to say I am shock.

Oh man, I am sorry to hear that Bostonian.

Sorry to hear about that dude

Wow, what a month! Two people were killed around here too and I think one went to my college. Damn truckers that don't know what red lights are [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Sorry for your loss Bostonian.

I wanna thank all the linkers here who've been kind and all. Let me tell ya it really changes your outlook on life when someone close to you die.

Thanks again [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Man, Bostonian... sucks to be you. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] Well, it's almost bedtime, stick it out, man, things will be better tomorrow.

Some days it pours.

Well today we buried my student from Hebrew School. Let me tell you, this had to be the most horrible day of my life. If you guys go to www.boston.com you will see one of my students console a younger boy.

On another aspect of the news, if you go to www.msnbc.com, NBC news has an article on Eddie and his cancer.

I will be very happy when this day is over, and week. Since besides the service tonight, tomorrow I have to sit Shiva (mourning period), and then on tuesday when I normally teach my students, I am going to have to help them with their own grieving, and my own too.

Once again, I want to thank all the Linkers who've supported me through this tragic period.

Bostonian;

I live West of Boston as well and was watching the News this evening. I saw the coverage of the service and it brought me to tears. They mentioned that he just finished writing his goals for his life.

My thoughts will be with you during this time.

I will never understand why there are not seat belts on school buses. [img]smilies/cry.gif[/img]
