People Power
Will, Age 12, South Bend, IN

There’s a funeral home next to my school that I go to almost every day, because almost every day there’s a funeral. I like going there, because there is a sadness in the air.

I have a power. Not like the Power Rangers, it’s a people power. I can make people’s pain go away. I could take your pain away. Think of what’s making you sad. Close your eyes if you want. It’s going to be okay. I promise, it won’t stay this way. How do I know?

At Amber’s funeral I looked at everyone I used to love and I felt mad. None of them were my sister. But then my Aunt Nancy came up to me. She said it would be okay. I thought about that for a long time. I thought about my sister. I could see her smiling in my head and I knew that…it would be.
