This has been the most intense few days of my life. That house that blew up in Toronto yesterday morning belongs to the family of one of my students. And his mum was inside. His mum was there waiting for the gas man. Someone was on the phone with her minutes before her house exploded. And now there's this lovely lovely family left with no mum. And she was such a great lady.
My whole school/class was just so stunned and upset. I don't think I've had such a long day in my teaching career. So many tears. It was so weird to have the helicopters circulating around the school playground. And to smell the smoke of the burning house...
I'm so happy that Scott was around last night. He made me an amazing dinner last night, which was a really nice break from thinking about this tragedy.
