A third grade student named Rinka from Half Day School (the school where I worked for the past five years) lost both her parents and an older brother in an automobile accident in Arizona during Spring Break a few days ago. My mind is numb trying to comprehend this tragedy. And my heart is void of any ability to experience her pain. It must be terrible. So I ask you all to join me in praying for Rinka.
I cleaned Rinka's classroom every day for the past year before I retired, I must have occasionally straightened her chair when I vacumed her classroom floor. I cleaned the lunchroom where she sat with her classmates every lunch hour. And I read my book this past Fall to all the third graders, including Rinka. It is a very sad thing to think of what she is going through right now. Her happy and innocent child's world has been shattered. Please say a prayer for Rinka.
