a truly sad day...

Today I found out that one of my friends past away on saturday... or at least that's when they found his body... I don't really know how to react, what to do or say... this is truly the first person that i've known personally that has died... I can help but questioning everything in life... how such a good guy can get taken away so early in life... he was just in his late twenties, just getting started with his life...

I don't understand, it just doesn't make any sense to me... I got the call this afternoon while out of town and as i took the two hour drive back home... I thought of everything in the world, wondering y or how or when... no one can really answer any of those questions... at least not yet... i just can't make any sense of anything... y just a guy that i was hanging out with a few weeks ago...

once we find out what happened and how he died, it'll help to bring some closure, but death is something that i don't understand... As i try to distract myself and keep busy, i log on to facebook and i'm going thru a friend's page, and i see a picture of my friend that passed away and all i can think is that all we have are memories now... i understand whats happened, but i can't really grasp it yet... today is a truly sad day... my prayer goes out to his family and all of his friends that love him so much...

hugs. as much death as i saw early on (2 grandparents, an uncle, softball coach all within 2 years of each other), i can cope better but that doesn't mean its easy. its really hard when its someone who's a great person and when they're young. for me, it helps to think about how the person's life was a light to other people. a guy i knew in undergrad died at 25 just one year after finishing his PharmD. he was such a nice guy. he wasn't perfect b/c none of us are, but thinking about how many people he touched is encouraging. and it makes you realize how short life is.
