Tragedy

[franceslievens]

Eight year old L., one of my pupils, got hit by a car yesterday. She was riding in the bicycle lane when she fell and got run over by a car coming from behind. She's in hospital, fighting for her life. I'm a bit stunned. Her absence was almost unbearable in class today.

That's terrible, I really hope she pulls through. Must be horrible for her family :(

I hope so too. I noticed her dad this morning at school, not knowing what horrible news he brought the form teacher. He seemed pretty calm. I guess her parents live on hope too.

That's terrible.

And since I'm not teaching in that school until next week, I'll probably won't know how she's doing for another couple of days.

Thank you.

Oh how hideous. It's always horribly jarring when such things happen... we seem to live in a bubble most of the time. I'll be hoping for the best.
