Death Becomes You...

I'm finding out about too many folks that have died and are in my age range. Last year during Rita's threat an old friend from high school was killed in a horrible accident. She was just promoted at her job and had a newborn. A few days ago someone contacted me through myspace.com asking if I knew this other girl that was in my class because he had heard she passed away. I contacted my friend and after some searching we find out it's true. The strange thing was it would have been this girl's birthday. What's worse...she passed away 3 years ago?!! She was one of the folks that didn't really keep in touch with anyone after we graduated from high school, which is quite possibly why we never found out. I wasn't friends with her but how horrible to die so young. We have lost too many friends and loved ones this year. Makes you really sit back and think about how short life is. All I can do is hope I make it to a ripe old age so that I can watch my daughter grow up....

Worth repeating...
