Headache, Heartache.

Reality hurts. Really. What was once a small, complete, happy family has been devoured of many of its members. Such cold acts of cruelty have utterly obliterated any sense of joy, any comfort, any false hope from the survivors. Partings are never easy. I'm refering to my 3 month old class... and our little faculty of double maths... It torments each of us with anguish with every person that did not make it. There is a shimmer of hope that some will eventually climb out of the belly of the cold monster that took them away, but the chances of all of them successfully making it are minimal. T'is sad, no? And to so brutally rip us apart... It's like us into a paper shredder. Worst of all, the timing of such events couldn't be better? Right after the holidays?! It's like slapping your cake in your face! Perhaps this is what's causing this splitting headache (and heartache) that I have now.
