Who knew the hardest question to answer the children I have been teaching at St. Paul High School would not be about God, about election, about Creation vs Evolution, or anything about theology. Rather, it would be the simplest of words joined together to create the most heartbreaking question: "Teacher Eddie, why do you have to leave us?" and "When am I going to see you again?"
My answer: A sincere and genuine hug while repeating to myself, "Never forget these kids."
I am torn between two worlds.
