Opened my email inbox this morning, there were many emails from parents of T's class about the tragic accident yesterday. Room parents suggested to have kids writing cards and sending little gifts to Kyla and her little sister; some suggested to have a food basket sent to the hospital where they stay. By the end of the day, LKE sent out email to the community notifying a fund was set up for the family. T and I went to the store after he swimming class bought some gifts too.
I was touched again by how people here express their grieves and sympathy when dealing with difficulty situations. It reminds me the first sympathy card I got when I came back to US after mourning for my mother's pass. The gesture of showing sympathy not only made me feel a connection with others, which I desperately needed at the moment, it actually helped me move on.
