I take this as another great compliment. Last week a terrible thing happened and it has left me heartbroken and soooo very sad. One of the young men, 18 yrs. old, was stabbed by another...his cousin actually...and he was killed. 
He was stabbed twice in the heart and died on his cousin's lawn. Yes, the cousin frequented my house also. They were together alot. I am honestly very sad for both young men. In actuality, two lives were lost...not just one. 
The cousin is 17 and I am almost certain he will be tried as an adult, instead of a juvenile. They were just here Friday night, along with lots of the other kids that hang out here. Saturday afternoon my young friend was gone forever. He always helped my daughter with her Geometry and he always made sure she was safe when she was out at the high school games, etc. She is a cheerleader. 
I tried to fix the color of his face as close as possible to his true skin color. I smoothed his eyebrows, put just a tad of pink on his lips, made sure his hair was like he liked it to always look, straightened the knot of his tie, told him I loved him and missed him...then kissed him on the forehead. I am sure some of you may find this quite odd, I know I do, but I heard myself telling him...asking him to get the hell up. He had his whole future in front of him...laid out beautifully. He would have graduated high school this May and then off to college to become a petroleum engineer...something he had always dreamed of becoming. I just cannot seem to shake it off...his parents are devastated. As are the parents of his cousin who did the stabbing. I had to do my best to try to explain to my daughter, and some of the other kids, that they could not let themselves hate the cousin. His actions are not to be condoned, because they were wrong....very very wrong 
There is no excuse for what he did. I had to try to explain that hartred will eat you up inside...make you very old and very ugly before your time. It was a hard lesson to try to teach them. 
How are ya? Just popped in to check on Bajan Blue. Nice to see you...You have been missed.
