Hug Your Kids

A kid committed suicide by jumping off the library roof at La Canada High School this afternoon.  I drove Sofie and her friends over to the school because they wanted to find out who it was.  They don’t know yet and they are all hanging out together at McDonalds trying to figure this out.  I am heartsick for the parents and family of this boy.  I can’t believe it was just a little over a year ago when I was at UCLA with Sofie having her evaluated as a suicide risk.  I thank God she was able to accept help.

Talk to your kids tonight.  Make sure they are ok.  Give them a big hug and tell them you love them.  There is a family here in La Canada that will not have that ability tonight.  God Bless them.
