My 7 yo daughter came home from school today with a note sealed in an envelope. I thought uh oh! what has she done. We sat down to read the note & found the saddest news in it.
Her music teacher has a 17 yo daughter who was out on Saturday & was to catch a train from a local melbourne train station, upon arriving at the station she must have been running a little late & proceeded to run & catch the train. She tripped over & without going into to much messy detail, lets just say she is no longer here with us.
Upon reading this my heart just dropped & I feel so bad for the teacher & his family. A very talented girl who has made appearances on "The Saddle Club" & the musical "The Sound of Music".
Hopefully tomorrow will be a brighter day at school & they can all band together to help the music teachers family.
Before you all go to bed tonight let those very close to you know just how much they mean to you as you never know what tomorrow will bring.

Its these stories that really hit home. We spend so much time getting bogged down with things that really have no importance. I will kiss and hugg my beutiful boy tonight and keep it in perspective. So what, if his bedroom stinks, I can wake up to his beautiful smile and I love you mum.

Wow. You just don't know what to say when you hear things like that. I think it is the universe telling us all to focus on the positive things in life and yes, not get so caught up in trivial trivial things. I do feel so lucky.

I just want to say when I read this post..I was touched in so many ways that I cannot explain..
Losing someone especially your own child is the most hardest journey any parent has to endure.
It really puts your strength to the test, as I have lost my little one at the age of 5.5years old as she was diagnosed with a very rare agressive brain tumor and she passed away in 2003. I know this is a different circumstance but was still a loss, and the parents of this teenager are in my prayers.

Horrific to say the least...my heart goes out to thr family and friends of this young 17 y old.....a life cut short far to early.
I agree lets all give our children one very special hug tonight as we tuck them into bed..
And to Angelmum.....my thoughts are with you also....each and everyone of us...would never want to endure what you have gone through. May each day make you stronger....

That is shocking news. To many tragic events seem to be happening to children these days. It seems to be something every week.... Life is so precious. It makes me stop and think how lucky I am to have to beautiful happy children...
Sorry to hear of your tragic loss too angelmum, you must have been through a very rough time with the loss of your own child. It is very sad.
Angel replied:
I'm wiping away tears at this sad story - and also your loss Vicki. To lose a child is the worst thing I can imagine - it's just not supposed to happen that way. I'm thankful every day for my boys.

To everyone that has posted a reply to this topic - THANKYOU. You would not believe how this has made me feel better just knowing that I could share my news (although sad) with other people. They say if you talk through things that they make you feel better well reading your replies has helped me feel so lucky to have the children I do.
I have been up to the school today helping in the classroom & the atmosphere around is not the usual bubbly one but I'm sure that after Friday (Funeral) where the entire teaching staff is attending things will begin to look on the up again.
Once again Thanks & don't forget to tell those close to you just how much they mean to you everyday before they walk out that door.
