  i subbed for this class today that i subbed a while back and remembered this one girl that always acted up.
  but today, she was really calm. i didn’t think twice about it but when i was passing her desk she sighed really realy loud.
  so i asked her if she feeling ok and this is how the conversation went

  
  

  HER: i’m sad mr. song
  ME: why? what happened?
  HER: my mom died
  ME: ok. whatever

  
  

  then i just walked passed her and kept teaching
  
  so there is this teacher’s aid that stays in the classroom and during break, i asked her if this was true.
  that aid happens to be her aunt and she tells me that her mom did pass away and not just that,
  she hung herself in her bathroom. i was freakin shocked. so during lunch i went out to the bleachers
  and sat next to her and talked to her for a while
  
  ME: hey, do you know how your mom died?
  HER: no… all i know is that she’s gone to be in heaven, and i know she’ll b happier there…. mr. song dont cry
           she’s in a better place
  ME: i’m not crying
  HER: my aunt and grandma tells me that she’s finally happy there
  ME: so…
  HER: its ok mr. song. i’m only sad for short times. thank you. can i hug you?
  ME: um… what about a high five? is that ok?
  HER: ok thats fine
  
  

  
  

  it will all end one day
  i think we’re all secretly waiting for it
