Layers of Life

~

Life dresses

in many layers

as daughter

best friend

lover and

mother

but then

one by one

these sheets of life

are stripped away

until nothing’s left

but the bare core

the essence

the soul

flies

Life is fragile

~

your heartbeat falters

taking you too far away

for us to follow

~

where ever you go

our love will accompany

your sweet and brave soul

~

hang on to our hands

we will hold you, in our heart

you’ll live on, always

~

Last Monday we received a message that Richard Verhoeven, one of our students, is very, very ill. Saturday he was found in cardiac arrest by his family. Ever since he has been in hospital, fighting for his life. Our academy is devastated, students and staff alike. This afternoon we received the horrible news that his parents and brother have to get ready to say goodbye.

A bright young man, only 19 years old. He is always ready with a smile, lending a hand where it is needed in a refreshing and spontaneous way. His enthusiasm inspires others on many occasions.

Richard, you are never far from my thoughts in these hours. Be strong, young friend. Be strong enough to stay, and brave enough to let go if that is what you must do. We are there with you and your family.

Marion
