This kind of news makes the world stop. All 27 girls missing in the July 4 floods at Camp Mystic in Kerr County, Texas, are now confirmed dead. Early this morning, rescuers found the last of the bodies in the Guadalupe River. The hope that families had clung to has been shattered. Across Texas, more than 104 people have died in one of the worst disasters the state has ever seen. Grief is everywhere. But amid the grief, a voice rings out — not from the field, but from the heart. Sidney Crosby, the 37-year-old Canadian hockey star, has donated $1 million to help the families of the victims and first responders. Then he disappears into a small house near Austin. No press. No cameras. Just his grief, alone, quietly observing the devastation. For a while. silent, emotional contemplation, as if we had cried. It is not polished, but it is real. And for many, it is the only thing that can say what no one else can…
