Oh Drew! I'm so sad. My heart breaks. As I'm sure everyone's heart is breaking.
I was one of his regular school bus drivers all last year and part of this year. He was such a sweet and well behaved boy on my bus. He was a joy to have around. And most days, as best he could, he showed up at the bus stop with a smile. Sometimes there were tears, but he was a warrior thru it all. Having Nora on the bus is always a joy too. I got to know their mom, little by little, at the bus stop every morning. Watching Ivy come into this world. Drew was sooooooo proud of his baby sister.
I'm not going to lie; my heart aches for this family. You will forever be missed on my school bus Drew. Hugs to everyone touched by this little guy.
