They talked about the crash at school today.
Q: But I didn’t hear much from the teachers because the kids were talking.
So I did my best with the story. As best I can with a sensitive 7-year-old.
(Mid-way through trying to explain why the hockey team was on the bus and where they were going and so on)
Q: But how did they get to the game?
Me: Dude – they didn’t go to the game. They couldn’t.
Q: But the ones who were still there? Oh wait. They all couldn’t right? They were either dead or really really hurt.
*** Silence ***
Q: There was something about leaving a stick outside?
Me: Some people are leaving them outside the door to show a sign that we’re thinking about them and their friends and family.
One reply on “We are all hockey people”
It still makes me sad. Flags are at half mast here for 16 days so my stick will stay on the front step until those 16 days are up.
