I was browsing news headlines. Me: “Why is Johnny Gaudreau trending…”
Reading out loud to my wife, I first read it as “Johnny Gaudreau’s brother died”. Reading it a second time, the utter dread sunk in.
What a way to find out.
Finding out that it was the day before their sister’s wedding…a tremendous tragedy.
He’ll be missed.
I went to an all-boys Catholic highschool. I had a teacher that was a Christian Brother. One day he had an argument with a classmate over how effective condoms were. He basically argued that condoms don’t work. (Even arguing that a Ziploc bag couldn’t keep semen from escaping.)
This teacher was pretty popular because he was a character, who’d sometimes make crude jokes.
After graduating, some friends and a I ran into him at a mall. He asked us “What are you guys up to? Picking up little girls?”
We laughed it off thinking he was still his same old jovial self.
Not long after, I heard that this same teacher had been arrested for being involved with minors. His “joke” that day seemed like some major projection.
