Earth stands still on Cape campus with news of tragic accident
Full stop! - The earth spins at 1,000 miles per hour, yet there is no sense of speed. On Tuesday morning, a prolonged silent pause settled over the Cape campus. There was no energy, only bewilderment, sadness and grief. All athletes who share the Cape campus as the hub of their universe were finding out, one person at a time, that Ryan Andrew and Elijah Ghabour had lost their lives in a traffic accident just before midnight a couple of miles from campus. I walked onto Champions Stadium field at 9 a.m. to take photos of a field hockey camp. There were no players. I saw Hiba Stancofski with a yoga mat under her arm. Hiba, who grew up in war-torn Lebanon, looked sad and reflective. “You don’t know, do you, Fredman?” Coach Debbie Windett told me the news. The athletes from hockey, football and boys’ lacrosse were all in the gym. I waited until the girls came back. They walked in small groups. I don’t think devastation is a recognized emotion, but that is what I saw in their faces. Young people have no reference point, no place to put such an unthinkable reality of catastrophe. Young people are emotional – there is no stifling their feelings – and yet they are resilient. The world resumes spinning and they are right there with it, but the moment is etched and they will never forget. The girls elected not to continue with the day's camp; they walked off in small groups. I stood up, as I’ve learned to just be there, no words necessary. Lina Fred and Mairead Rishko came over to share a hug. There is a community embrace; there is no right thing to say. Just be there and hold onto people you care about. The Andrew and Ghabour families already feel the love. Being strong for each other is the best therapy.
