yesterday

[ltgmars]

So yesterday was kind of depressing. I was sicksicksick but I forced myself to go to work anyway, and then I found out about Mr. Gerencher, and yeah. But it was his time, I guess, even if it feels so wrong. I think Neehar said it best -- he's timeless.

I didn't cry when I found out. I didn't cry as I told my brother, even though I choked on the words. I didn't cry while I chatted with Neehar and Ilse about it, solidified plans for making it out to the memorial mass. I didn't cry at all yesterday until I read the latest installment of Quicken to Silver, which is just so incredibly real that I couldn't glaze over the emotions anymore. So yeah. I guess that's a fic rec right there.

And in honor of Mr. Gerencher: Spice Girls - Say You'll Be There (YouTube)

You were a great man, Mr. Gerencher. Rest in peace.

And now you made me remember the time I was walking to Gerencher's class when all of a sudden I hear Spice Girls "Wannabe" blaring on his stereo. Eleni and I just looked at each other and burst out laughing. :D

I still don't think it's real yet. It'll hit me at the mass. St. Joe won't be the same.

I think I serenaded him with Spice Girls, singing along with his stereo, about four times in two years.

Mass will be a heavy affair, I'm sure.

He did love his Spice Girls, didn't he.

Don't know what to say except, I'm sorry about your teacher.

*hugs* Thanks. He was an icon of the school, and one of the best men I've ever met.

*hugs* I wish I'd had a teacher like that (there were a couple of great ones, but nothing quite like what you describe)...

My condolences. *hugs* Great teachers are rare these days, so it's a great loss for everyone.

Definitely. St. Joe will never be the same. *hugs* Thanks.
