Sad news from home

My wife came to my classroom today. That’s usually good news. Emily is the best partner anyone could ask for. She said she had bad news from Mike.

Mike? What’s wrong with that …?

Troy died today.

I froze. How the heck could he be dead. He just called Saturday. I returned to class. finished the lesson, and then went to the office to arrange things for the trip back to Canada.

I guess I’m heading back on Wednesday.

I’ll keep you posted.
