This past weekend I found out that a guy I went to elementary school with passed away on Saturday. He is actually a cousin of one of my sister's friends and so I found out from her. When she asked me if I knew him I couldn't place his name or relation but once she showed me his picture yesterday I recognized who he was. Last night I had a hard time sleeping, simply from not feeling well, but also every time I closed my eyes I would see his face. It's not that we were very close in the past or that I even had contact with him since we were younger but it's very sad to know someone so young didn't really get to live his life. I think I have been lucky and spared from huge disappointments as such - excluding of course my Grandfather, who's death still makes me very sad but he was older when he passed away and I believe lived a rich, fulfilling life. I just can't imagine getting that phone call and knowing that this was someone who up until his accident was probably very active. I really hope that his family are okay though I know it will be some time before they will.
Rest In Peace J.C.
