One of my students from last year died. Another former student emailed me the link to the news article explaining that he had been killed in a motorcycle accident. He would have graduated this year. He was signed up for the Navy. His name was Nick.
Nineteen years old.
I nearly vomited when I read the article. I can't believe that someone whose life was so closely intertwined so recently with my own is no longer living. I saw this kid everyday. He had plans for his life.
I don't know how to feel about this. Fact of life? Get over it? I don't know if it's that easy.

It's so sad. My heart sinks when I read of anyone younger than me losing their life. : /
I know it's tough because each student has a special place in your heart. I'm sure you had an impact in his life.
