It’s ridiculous how sad you can get from someone you didn’t even knows death. However, it would be just as ridiculous to not feel, as we are all human, and it will all happen to us one day.
I know I didn’t know him, but that doesn’t make me cry any less when I read the dozens of wall posts from his friends and family, even people who only knew him a little. To see how they hurt, how changed their lives are because of some idiot who was too careless to pay attention to what they were doing.
I’ve experienced deaths of people I knew my age before. I’ve been lucky that it’s never been anyone I was seriously close with, but at the same time, I couldn’t help but feel extremely upset knowing this person I was at least used to seeing, wasn’t going to be around anymore because of carelessness.
I pray for all of you, for all the families and friends and those of you mourning, hoping that your hearts will heal and you’ll be able to continue on.
Life will never be the same, but we keep going.
