I. . .I don't even know what to say. I'm sad. I found out today someone I went to high school with died in a rock climbing accident in Hawaii. We weren't close. I barely knew him at all but I feel sad at his death. I remember rehearsing for "Kiss Me, Kate" with him. I was a stage manager and he played one of the gangsters. I can see him in my head right now singing and dancing with the other Ryan. I can see them rough housing after the show, I remember other people teasing him. I remember his blonde hair bobbing in the hallway. I remember how light-hearted he was.
No, Ryan didn't play a significant part in my life but damn. Now he's gone forever. And I just. I'm sad. I'm really sad. It can all go so quickly, it can all vanish tomorrow. Anyone of us could die while crossing the street and you just don't know.
He was so young. May God bless you and keep you safe Ryan. I know we weren't close but I remember you fondly.
This is also a reminder to me of how important it is to tell people how much they mean to me. I know I already do that but today especially: thank you for being in my life. Thank you for your presence. I wish you nothing but blessings of love and light.
life,
high school,
death,
friends
