While playing football for his school he scored a goal with his head, developed a seizure then slipped into coma and died a few days after. I have not been able to come to terms with how the mother who had been left alone to carter to those kids from an early age is living with the devastating death. Now this…this is beyond painful, it’s too painful to comprehend. Unimaginable tragedy. The hurt is deep. This world scares me shitless, it’s depressing, it’s saddening. No body deserves this kind of pain. Still Lord, I look to you.”
