Meg and I headed to the Goshen College Cabin this morning. Bethany had invited the entire junior class to gather there today. Our family had offered to bring a dessert and I was thankful that Grandma Jane agreed to make brownies. I definitely wasn't up for much of anything yesterday. The Cabin was set up with activities as well as quiet places for students to gather or reflect alone. Both of their class sponsors were in attendance as well as several other teachers and mentors. Someone had even brought a service dog to help with the grieving process. Meg and I talked to a couple of the adults and then spent time with Cameron. We asked him about his morning and encouraged him to leave whenever he felt that he needed a break from the group setting. He said that he planned to take off after lunch and maybe play golf or go back to school to look at the artwork that Richard made in their shared 3-D art class.
While Cameron was busy, Meg and I headed to the grocery store and then spent time working on her room. I had talked to Cameron about making sure that he stayed at home tonight. We really appreciated the Rusel's hosting the boys for the past two nights, but felt that everyone needed a break. Cameron arrived at dinner time and showed us the artwork that he had found as well as some fun items that he had made for Richard over the past school year. He had planned to stay in all night, but Jordan called and wanted him to meet them in Goshen.
After he left, Gabrielle came over to visit with Meg for awhile. They talked, laughed, played Just Dance and made Tik Toks. It was nice to have some fun fellowship in our home this evening as it had been a very sad couple of days. Cameron did arrive home later in the evening with plans to finally shower and rest. Heartbreak does not begin to describe my feelings for him.
