Sad News

My mom called me to make sure I made it home today in the snow storm. Normally, I would detail how shitty the weather is and how much I hate the MBTA, plus go into detail about my horrible hangover. But what my mother told me has put my day into perspective.

One my friends from high school passed away on Sunday. She was 29 years old and she died from an aggressive form of breast cancer. As I sit here on my couch, I can remember exactly what she looked like, even the sound of her voice. It makes me so sad to know that someone as kind as she was is no longer in this world. I haven't seen her in over 10 years, but she was one of the few people from high school I wouldn't have spit on if I saw her in the street. She always made me laugh and the two of us were just so hopeless at physics. We were lab partners senior year in high school and we used to have fun.

God bless you, Shannon, and I'm glad that wherever you are now, you are at peace.
