Day 296: Rest In Peace

A friend from high school died last night after being in the hospital since Thursday. I got the news today from my childhood best friend. She was twenty-three when she died, just past midnight.

I don't have that many delusions about mortality. I know I'm not going to live forever and that no one else is going to either. But she was twenty-three and as healthy as anyone else. Twenty-three. And now she's gone.

It just makes me think: You never know when you're going to lose someone. So tell people how you feel about them before you run out of chances.

Today, I am grateful for:
* the amazing people in my life.
* having known Amanda.
* Mandy keeping me updated.
* hugs.
* love.
