I remember Otto's laugh as if it was yesterday. He was one of my favorite students. I cry today for Otto and all my former students who have passed while so young. Each of them has taken a tiny piece of my heart with them. After all these years, my students are still "my kids". I wish I could protect them from life's cruel lessons.
