kat kuhns

dani informed me just a bit ago that a classmate from high school, Kate Kuhns, died this evening of brain tumors. my mom then confirmed it.

i didnt know her very well; we had classes together all through school. but homer is a small town, and the graduating class of 1999 was just over 100. we were both in the group who went through all 13 grades in the homer school system.

but i do remember being invited to her birthday party in, what, second grade? third grade?

her family had two horses, and that was the highlight of the party: getting to ride the horses. but we had to ride 2 or 3 on a horse. i got stuck sitting behind the saddle on the horses sweaty butt.

b dated her for a brief time in fourth grade. one of those 'wanna sit by me at lunch?' kind of relationships.

i didnt think it would hit me this hard.

3 Love Notes

Wow. I'm sorry. You have a right to grieve.

it means you're human. that's a good thing.

That's right -- I forgot b dated her...in 4th Grade- Mrs. Ingels class...we had a going away party for her when she was moving to Soldotna and b cried :). That's before he got big and tough.
