This blog will not be popular. It won't be Tweeted hundreds of times or sent out to friends through Facebook. Many who begin reading it will most likely stop before they ever get to this point because they will have scanned the title and decided to move on. Readers will say, "Too sad," and never read the rest because they don't like to talk about losing a parent.
A friend posted on Facebook that one of her friends lost his battle with Leukemia. In looking at the pictures, he could not have been more the 40 years old. He left behind a wife and three small children who looked to be less than twelve years old. As much as some adults may not want to talk about it, the loss of a parent is a reality for some of our students.
"1 in 7 Americans lose a parent or sibling before they reach the age of twenty" (Comfort Zone Camp).
