I found out today that a girl I went to school with died |
|
We weren't good friends or anything. But she was a very sweet, cute girl and it's so sad. She left behind a couple of kids and a husband. She was 37 years old, and that's just too damn young to die. I think she had cancer. Jill, bless your heart, I love you baby.

6. some people died in high school |
|
My best friend Andy had a wreck that put him in a coma. He finally died a couple of years ago. I think my life would've been a lot better if he didn't have that accident. He was such a sharp guy. I miss Andy too.

The first one is especially rough, though.

8. I was friendly with her in school |
|
But I haven't really been around her since, except for bumping into at the grocery store once or twice. Still it hurts. I'm not sure why it hurts as much as it does.

I found out earlier this year that an ex-shipmate of mine died. Cancer. Also 37 years of age. Left behind a wife and two young children.
So sad.

10. I found out a friend of mine died in a car accident about a year... |
|
out of high school, an incredible shock because she was just about the most alive person I'd ever known...I think as a way of dealing with it, I tried to become a bit more outgoing, a bit more like her...it was always something special about her that I admired so much...
Hugs to you right now...

13. I had a similar experience recently |
|
My best friend in fourth grade. She also died of cancer at 40, leaving three kids behind. I found out about it when I opened my newspaper.

14. I've lost two women friends to domestic violence |
|
12 and 15 years ago. Both murder suicides. When it happens like that, you don't get over it. :( When the neighbors fight my adrenalin pegs & I get sick, still.
