Sadness

Today has been a sad day with the news I have heard.

First... a dear friend Miss Hope who was an aid at Arnold retired. She was like a grandmother to me. Such a sweet soul. Her grandchildren are a month apart from Donovan. Anyways, I found out today that her husband of 49 years past away from cancer. She had to retire to take care of her husband. However, now she needs to worry about her daughter too. One of her daughters has cervical and uterian cancer. She is undergoing chemo right now and it is wiping her out. Miss Hope is taking care of her too. Where she gets the strength I don't know, but God bless her and her family.

Second .... today I found out a student who use to go to Arnold Dayo fell down the bleachers during wrestling practice that he had to be lifeflighted to Hermann Memorial hospital. This is what I was told....Please pray for a Cy-Fair freshman Dayo Awosika-Olumo. He was Life Flighted from school Friday afternoon after taking a bad fall running bleachers. He's still in Neuro ICU at Mem.Hermann. When they removed the respirator, fluid in his lungs comp...licated the process. He's back on the respirator and heavily sedated. Swelling but no surgery yet. His parents & sister, Soyo, are doing ok, but are grateful for prayers!
Dayo was in my Not So Neat Freaks Club. He is a sweet boy. I taught his sister Soyo. She is awesome. I ask that if you read this to please pray for them too.

The second week of school has ended and I love school. I love my kids. The atmosphere at school is great. I can't complain at all. I wake up in the morning and can't wait to get to school. Volleyball practice has been ok. The girls can serve, but are very slow. They are not agressive and so it is hard to see who will be on the various team. We have our first scrimmage on Tuesday. I can't wait to see how they perform. Wish us luck.

Well I guess I am going to wrap up and say some prayers tonight for everyone.
