Well L and S are back in school. I met my next door neighbor for lunch and some girl time. She told me The Meadows (Haydens former school) lost another child last night, 15 and in the same sort of mysterious circumstances as Hayden. I’ve always thought the pesticides in the fertilizer got to Hayden during football practice. I would hate to think it got another child too. Children going through a growing spurt, I have come to believe, are highly suseptible to pesticides and the such. Their immume system is “down” when their body is growing. Apparently the family had to fight with the local hospital, and that means the same idiotic doctor I had to fight with, in order to bring their son home to die. “And take away all those medical expense charges?” I say to my friend, “just so some poor 15 year old can die at home with his family and friends around him?” What is the world coming to. The hospital/doctor refused to release this young man and he died at a cold impersonal hospital room with the meter running. Forgive my sarcasm but it’s well deserved. I HATE the system that does this and I’m going to fight them until I have no more breath left in me. Bastards. Cold, hard, calculating bastards.
