I have a Co-Worker John and his life is virtually a soap opera. It is good that he has a medically enhanced sense of humor or none of this would be funny to him, but we all found it screamingly so. This man has five kids, only one , the youngest is his bio kid, the others his wife adopted before they got married. We joke that his tribulations would make for excellent television... "Next Episode on The Crouches..." As we were on break the other morning he started to tell us how Tommy who is 8 years old, his bio kid, was very upset that morning over the death of a school mate named Dave. The school mate had a tough go of it as he was a Diabetic Albino. Tommy said he was feeling especially guilty because he declined an invitation to Dave's birthday party last month. Later in the day John told us this story... Linda, John's wife was concerned about how Tommy was handling the loss called the school to see if they had counciling available for bereavement situation such as this. The school informed her that they had no such person as Dave the Deceased Diabetic Albino . It turns out Dave was an imaginary friend. I laughed until I was crying! Say a prayer for my friend John , to continue to have *&^$ like this hapen. It makes break time so worthwhile!
