A sad week for Massachusetts, this place that I call home. On Monday, a dear 15 year old girl, Allie, was struck by a car while crossing the road, on a crosswalk, here in Marblehead, and devastatingly, she didn't make it. Her friends, classmates, among them many of my students, friends and siblings, have been mourning this tragic life cut short. The town is in shock while everyone clings to their children and hugs one another goodbye just a little tighter. Rest assured, this beautiful, gentle, young life will not be forgotten. Her smile and message to follow us always.
On Tuesday, Massachusetts' beloved senator of nearly 50 years died after a valiant fight with brain cancer. We have watched Teddy's private and public services and all been touched by the stories, laughter, grateful to be a part of his history, one that was a part of so many others.
And so, dear Allie has someone to hold her and sing to her now in Heaven, and until each one of us can be with our loved ones again, we trust that they are resting in peace.
