another sad day

It was with much shock, sorrow and sadness that we learned this morning about the sudden and unexpected death of another student. He passed away sometime during the night, while he slept. Why? What happened? At present we do not know. We learned of this from his bus driver, who was told this by the staff at the group home when they stopped to pick him up this morning.
While Terrance was not currently in my class, he is a kid I have known for sixteen years. He was one of the first children with significant disabilities I met way back when I was still only considering a career in special education. He was one of the kids that drew me in, stole my heart and inspired me to become a teacher.
Terrance, sometime in the mid 90's.I've said it before and Lord knows I will say it again: this just plain fucking sucks.
