i don't even know how to start.
a good friend from high school, stevie thomas, died on thursday. she was two years younger than me, c/o 2000. that's not supposed to happen. she died of a stomach flu/pneumonia or something that they were not clear on. she was in the ICU when she passed on thursday morning. so weird.
the thing that's a little sucky is that i have not seen this person in years. so for some reason it didn't hurt as much when i learned of her passing. i kinda don't know what to feel. we were close in high school. she was in the circle of friends that i spent a lot of time with in high school.
so i'm driving to the service in san diego sunday morning...at the same cemetary my mom is buried.
i actually cried last night thinking about my mom. what a coincidence it is knowing that i cried on the day stevie died without even thinking about he, and that her memorial service is going to be held where my mom is buried.
i'm sure not everyone who reads this is religious, but here's a prayer anyway:
Eternal rest grant unto Stevie Thomas, O Lord
and let perpetual light shine upon her.
May she rest in peace, Amen.
