Dammit dammit dammit. I want to run back up to Atlanta right now...nonono...
I'm in Albany, GA at a convention, and I just found out my fencing coach and some of the fencing team were in an accident Friday night. The worst injury is a broken arm. I wasn't there...the only time I didn't go to a tournament, they get into an accident. I can do nothing. I can comfort no one. Comforting is -my- comfort, and there's no one to comfort...no one...

I don't worry about the fencers, I worry about my coach. He's like a second father to me, and he told me he thinks of me as a daughter. I don't know to do...I just need to write and write and write. It hurts, so bad, this...this...uselessness. I read that he only has a bruised hand...but he...
I don't know what I need...I just need to see him, hear his bird call, hear him speak in German, my gibberish, my gibberish...

I never cry....I can't cry...but then, why?

Wow, it's a good thing to hear that the worst injury was only a broken arm! I can understand what a big shock it is though; just because you were not at the accident yourself, doesn't mean it won't effect you, because it obviously is. It's important that you try and keep calm however, shock can develope into something that pulls you down and down. I'm sure your coach would worry for you! Hopefully you can call your coach soon and check up on him Smile

Take care of yourself too!

Please don't beat yourself up over the fact there's nothing you can do about this. I'm sure they'll all be fine, trust me you'll get to probibly see him in a day or two. If you need to talk you know where to find me.

Rawr. I'm sorry, I guess I was kind of reacting to this a little weirdly. But yeah, everything's alright now. Well, no, but I'll be quiet. ^^;

Oi, no need to apologise! Dealing with something you can't just march over and sort out is freakin' hard, that much I know!

Hahaha, my fencing coach is -not- Wolf. Dr. Fryman is in his late fifties, heh. That really amused me.

Thank you all for the advice. :] I feel better now, obviously.

Don't beat yourself up over something you couldn't control. What's the point you know? All you'll do is end up depressing yourself over something that's already resolved and over which there's nothing you could do unless you had psychic premonitions. Accidents happen, people get hurt, your role is to be the shoulder to lean on when people need you.

Sometimes situations demand more than just simple words, but words are powerful. Sometimes words are all that really need to be said. In this case nobody was seriously hurt. It may have shook some folk up but everyone will be ok in due time. If you want to do anything, be there as that shoulder that someone might need to lean on and keep a positive attitude.

I know if I was hurt, I wouldn't want people to worry about me. I'm a big boy, I can handle whatever comes at me but if someone worries about me it throws me off my cool and I worry. Life has a funny way of working itself out, with or without someone's tampering. Sometimes having that hero complex can actually make things worse. It's a good thing to have, but stay sharp, stay cool. Like I was saying earlier, just stay positive and be the good friend you are.

Stay cool, and nothing can ever keep you down.
