Look. and This too. And this. Here too. One more. It'll save me a lot of explaining.
If you click on that link and watch the video there, I can name most of the people featured.
I don't know if I ever talked to Parker, but I know I had at least a few classes with him in past years. Plus he was in my stake, so today our stake high councilman talked about it.
You hear about things like this happening at other schools, but you never think it'd happen at your school, until it does. And then you cry a lot.
Parker's death makes me want to be so much nicer to so many more people.
It makes me want to smile all the while, because I'd say Parker's smile went more than a mile, I'd say it covered all of Timpview's boundaries. Everyone says one of the things they remember about Parker is that he was always smiling.
It makes me think if I were to die next week, what would people remember me for?
I can't wait to go to school tomorrow and see all the blue ribbons, and everyone in Sunday best.
For now, I'll just be here singing hymns and listening to VocalPoint and Bring Him Home by myself, crying.
