One of my best friend's nephew passed away from Cystic Fibrosis two nights ago (thursday). He was 8 years old and battled the disease his whole life that literally took his breathe away.
His name is Conner and his parent's are Brad and Sarah.
I just read her blog that she started so she could track events that happened along the way as well as just simply sharing.
It was very painful to read the pain they have gone through the past couple days. I could never ever imagine losing a child.
The pain will probably be unbearable for a while.
It's things like this that happen that put lives like mine into perspective.
I don't have unbearable pain.
I work with kids who should constantly be putting my life into perspective but in order to cope as humans, we automatically learn to become numb to some degree.
I don't really know the point to sharing all of this except for the fact that its extremely sad to read about and know that families go through this unbearable pain a lot.
Day 1 of my break was externally good and sunny but I felt very alone.
I was around people all day but that ache of feeling alone was very present and only seems more present as the night grows.
Feeling alone is a weird feeling because it can fall upon you at any given moment and its a very heavy feeling. The truth is that I am not alone but the struggle remains.
