analog, where did you get so wise? Thanks for the input!
My wife went to school with her on Tuesday and sat in the back of all her classes. The whole school is rallying around her in support. In the lunch room all the kids sat at the tables around her and pulled up chairs, and they ostracized two boys that picked on the kid. My daughter even chased one with a water bottle. Which was a good outlet of pent up anger, I hope! She was a real trooper staying all day. God bless my wife I'm so glad she went with her.
Though the rumors were bad, we heard you have the suicide note, we heard you helped write it, did you break up with him, is that why he did it, what Bullshit!
Even a grief counselor brought in asked similar questions my wife said ok I'm only going to say this once, my daughter and Austin have been very close friends since fifth grade and have dated off and on for two years, I found out Saturday morning when his mother called me and it was a complete shock to us as it was to his family and out of respect to them and Austin there's nothing left to say except that we will never forget him!
She stayed home yesterday and went half day today on her own, it was tough I could tell. She won't come to me for support but I try to go to her and let her know I'm here for her and she starts the conversations or I'll ask what ya doing to start things off. I don't want to pressure her that might shut her down. All in all she is doing better than expected, her friends have been huge in trying to keep her spirits up.
I can't wait for the memorial service Saturday to be behind us.
