Sad Day « Thread Started on Aug 24, 2009, 3:34pm »
Hey guys, I know I haven't been on here much lately, but a terrible terrible tragedy happened last Friday. I was at a football game with my buds and it was my school verses a rival school. During the middle of the game, a player from my school collapses and it was not from a tackle either, he underwent cardiac arrest and fell to the ground and never got up, because he past away. The ambulance came and everyone rushed over to help him, but it was too late. His family was in tears and everyone else was crying. I did not know the guy well as the back of my hand but I did know him from church and I have spoken to him before. The game was never finished and everyone went home in disbelief, shock, or deep deep sorrow.
Today I went to school and the second I went through the door I immeadiatly felt the air of depression. A few teachers were about to breakdown, and some of the students were still in tears. The entire day felt like this and I soon found myself on the verge of tears, but I did not even really know this person but I still feel very sad, and a few of my friends knew him pretty well and they are not speaking that much today and I am not going to force them.

My deepest apologies and empathy. Not sympathy, empathy. I can understand how you feel, and probably how a lot of people you know feel. Not to undermine what you said, or to make my situation one up yours, I don't want it to be taken that way, I have experienced a great deal in the past few months. First would be a kid I recently met...he stepped out in front of a train. I did not really know him well, but it happened when school was in...and ... just the atmosphere was horrible. Recently, a kid I know, died of heart complications. I saw him everyday, got to know him a bit and his girlfriend...and through no fault of his own..he's gone.
The hardest part is, his name will immortalized. There is a foundation for him, bracelets, shirts, even a scholarship. Every day it seems to get harder, not easier. I feel for his family, for his close friends. I hope they find solace.
Same for your situation. I really hope things turn up soon. Best wishes <3
