Meropi Kyriacou Honored as TNH Educator of the Year
NEW YORK – Meropi Kyriacou, the new Principal of The Cathedral School in Manhattan, was honored as The National Herald’s Educator of the Year.
It always seems like there will be another moment, but sometimes there’s not. Each day is a day full of opportunity. It’s not a cliche to say live into it.
Michael Christopher Black lived fully and now so very suddenly he is gone. Eight people have a new opportunity because he chose to be an organ donor and his parents very courageously honored that wish, as reported in The National Herald: https://bit.ly/2m4hRuA.
Now on top of the tremendous grief of losing a child the unwinding of a life suddenly curtailed is beginning – how to untwist the actions, intentions, and loose ends of someone fading so early in their stride?
These are the tasks now before Michael’s mother. There is hope for a future for his photography, for his unfinished business in California and Paris. There is gratitude for those on the island of Tinos who provided his remains with a place to stay where he was so happy.
I feel very fortunate to have seen Michael just before his recent journey to Greece to wish him well and ask for a safe return. Regrettably, not all wishes come true.
We are grateful for all you gave, Michael Christopher Black.
