I was in the hospital with peritonitis and given a dose of Demerol before the phone rang. This sweet voice said, “Mrs. Jordan?” It was Buddy, one of my seventh graders. The Demerol left me as high as kite, and I was having to struggle to sound professional. How nice of Buddy to call me. We were Facebook friends. I sent him a message to tell him how wonderful it was to read posts about his marriage and family. He said “ it gets bumpy sometimes.” His death is more than a bump. I am praying for his friends and especially his family as they go through this time . God blessed us all with Buddy. Judy Jordan
