Grief is not linear. Secondary losses are abundant. Another milestone is always on the horizon.
This year the class of 2031 began their 13 year journey through the education system. There will be one student absent the entire time. Few will ever know or notice. His name will not appear on a class roster. He will not be assigned a lunch number. He will not go on field trips. He will not play sports. He will not go to prom. He will not walk across the stage at graduation. He will not be there to look out for his little sister.
