Good people shouldn't have to die, especially so young.
I found out yesterday that a friend passed away. I met him during the summer at my internship. He was a good guy with an extremely good heart. Thirty years old. Died in the hospital from pneumonia.
I'm letting it sink in.
I'm still not beliving it's real.
When I think of him, tears begin to stream - it's hard catching glimpes of old emails from him in my inbox -
and although it is real, I'm still hoping to hear another call - telling me he hasn't passed away.
And I'd say, "What a cruel joke."
He organized outtings for lunch and drinks, he set up my last day farewell get together, we'd have mini breaks chatting during work, chatting, lunch, and drinks, we'd have fun...and I just had lunch with him a little more than two weeks ago
Kylie, another friend I made during my internship in the summer, called to tell me yesterday around noon. I missed the call,listened to my voicemail, and heard at the end of it that Richard Asuncion passed away. I wasn't sure I heard right. I called Kylie back. Found out I did hear the message right. He passed away on Friday, and although Kylie wanted to call me after she found out on Friday, she had to let it sink in herself. I couldn't believe it. There weren't any tears at that time on the phone with her - just shock, but when I called my bf to tell him, when I tried to voice it out and when I voiced the news and heard myself say that Rich passed away, tears ran over my face. In fact, I can't seem to say it all without any tears flooding out of my eyes.
I was in Irvine during the weekend. On my flight back, while thinking of it, my eyes were tearing again even though I tried to stop them from coming out. I'm sure at least one other passenger was wondering why tears were running down my face...
It's still sinking in.
