A few weeks back my art teacher was complaining of a cold, we thought nothing of it but just now I found out he died of lymphoma yesterday. KHV, I don't know how to take this, I've never experienced death properly. He was a rather bad teacher, the students would take advantage of him but he was also one of the kindest people I know. Now all those students who imitated him and took the mic out of him will feel very guilty, me included. It's... weird....
Your art teacher sounds just like ours, except it's a she. Im sorry to hear about the loss. May he rest in peace.
