Spreading the Love: We are a Community of Lawyers
I was writing a different blog post this morning, one I will get back to, when I received an email from my son’s high school principal. One of his classmates, a senior and a boy my son knew, had committed suicide.
Since receiving that email, I have been out of sorts. There’s the obvious tragedy of a young man taking his own life, of his family and friends left behind. But it also triggered in me deeper emotions, for he died today, Valentine’s Day, a day marketed to be about love not death. Today is also the day, twenty years ago, that my father died from lung cancer. I am definitely out of sorts.
