"He’d overcome so many challenges to get there: attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, anxiety, and difficulty connecting with other kids. As he matured, he gained confidence by participating in cross-country running, drama and debate. He developed a rapport with his peers by listening more and talking less. When he flew to college, he left behind friends from high school, summer jobs and youth groups. He was ready academically and had even earned a merit scholarship."⁠ ⁠ "On Friday, when it was time for me to leave, I placed my hands around Henry’s middle, pressed my right cheek to his chest, closed my eyes and squeezed," Kopple continues. "At that moment, I was embracing every version of my son: chunky baby, curious toddler, zany seventh grader in braces, hungry teenager, all the rest I knew and had known. After one final hug — Henry’s signature move — I left for the airport."⁠ ⁠ "The following Monday night, around midnight, Chuck and I were awakened by two policemen who told us Henry had been killed."⁠ ⁠ "How is this possible? I helped Henry unpack in his dorm room," Kopple writes. "We put away his jeans, mountains of socks, shower shoes and toiletries, a book he was excited to read called “The Nordic Theory of Everything,” Kind bars, and cups of Dr. McDougall’s Black Bean & Lime instant soup."⁠ ⁠ "In an instant, every expectation for our family and our future was obliterated."⁠ ⁠ Read more at our link in bio. // 📷 Courtesy of Elizabeth Kopple」10月6日 23時01分
