Tragedies

As I have written on here a few times in the past, for several years I worked with a children's theatre group designing and building sets, stage lighting, sound etc.  For the first time since I have been involved one of those children has died.

I guess he was no longer technically a child, he was in college, and even when I knew him he was exceptionally mature. It was a freak accident while walking in the woods.  I am a bit shaken at this.  It had been a couple of years since I had seen him, and I didn't even have him on Facebook.  But I remembered him fondly, and he was the sort of person who had amazing potential and attitude.

Just a sad event.  And I feel pretty powerless to help those who are more deeply affected.
