If Only I Knew
Death. A dreadful event.
“Why did it happen?” they asked yesterday.
If only I knew.
Navigating daily twists and turns with teens broadens my perspective, tickles my funny bone, sharpens details often overlooked in a chaotic adult world, but in the never-ending ‘tragedies’ teens create, death – a real tragedy – brings pause. And confusion.
“Why did it happen?” they ask.
And in that brief pause, the air heavy with sorrow, I have no answers for these young people who’ve come to expect reasonable reasons and enlightened explanations.
If only I knew …. is all I can muster.
Death. A dreadful event.
