Al said they caught the person responsible for the bomb scare. Nicest kid in the world, she said. Always friendly. Always smiling. Surprised everyone that it was him. She said he was upset because of a test. Who knows...?
Don't say it: It's always the quiet ones.
There's so much more to it than some stupid, cliche response. A lot of times my heart goes out to the troubled...to people who seem to have been pushed to the edge...farther than most people are pushed so they have no idea what it's like to inhabit the fringes of sanity. Been there, I'm either sorry or proud to say. Or really neither. It just is...hopefully somebody, some angel, with a little compassion and skill will coax the poor soul back where it's a little safer.
