July 2, 2010 - a sad day

I was so sad to hear that Nickolis "Bugs" Ronald Siever, a little guy in our kindergarten class last year, had passed away in a fire along with his grandma. He was a cute, smart kid with lots of energy and was full of fun. He spent quite a bit of time at my table doing his work when he couldn't stop visiting with the kids at his table. He was "wise beyond his years" in some ways which was sad to me, but he was full of life and friendliness. He was so excited the day he got to bring his pet chicken for Pets Day. He was so sad the day no family could attend his school program - there was no consoling him or getting a smile from him which was seldom the case. I will miss having him stop by to visit next year at school and will miss having the chance to watch him grow up. Heaven will be brightened by his presence.
