Difficult Week

This has been a long week. It started with news of the death of our director and each day brought a new situation and memory. The day we found out. The next day when kids were told (although it was out on Facebook according to my son the same day as we found out…no surprise there). Questions from kids. The athletics banquet.

Today with a cartoon.

As my son said “He is a real nice guy. He really cares about us and what we do”.

For me it just reminded me of the things I liked the most about working where I do. A director that always asked about your kids and genuinely was interested in your answer. Not what I have experienced the previous 20 + years overseas.

Dealt with this two years ago with Bill and again this week with Charles. Cancer just plain sucks…..
