Death.

I don’t think I can ever get used to the idea of death.  Nor do I think I will ever really be able to cope with it.  There hasn’t been a death in my family since I was in the 6th grade which I am thankful for.  However in the year and a half since I’ve been out of high school, two of my former classmates, guys that I knew and liked, have been killed.

I woke up this morning getting a phone call about a good guy who I graduated with getting killed in a car accident early in the morning.  Even though in high school we were only acquaintances, it has left me shocked and in a daze all day.  I will never understand why kids have to die so young, and I will never be able to deal with that.  Just because of the fact that I knew him has gotten me upset at times today.  Larry was a good guy and everyone who met him loved him.  He, nor does anyone, deserve this to happen, especially at such a young age.  No matter what, I don’t think that I will ever come to terms with the idea of death.

Rest In Peace Larry Morra, you have clearly impacted my life & no one will ever forget you.
