do
so my mum calls me today and tells me something horrific. one of my old school friends died this week. sarah pead. kinda blew me away. we were good friends for a while in school but someone i never forgot about afterwards and every once in a while i'd think about her and smile and tell myself to get in contact with her. i never did. never thought there would be a hurry to do so.
the thing that kinda gets to me was one day i was driving around to my mums house and i saw her on the way past and she called out "PAUL!! HEY COME HERE!!!" and i said i couldn't, which i couldn't, and i went and did what i had to do. who'd have thought that that would be the last time i would see her in the flesh..... so long ago too. i tried tracking her down a few years ago but she rarely had her phone on and never answered it when it was on. her mum said she was worried about her a fair bit and she had a hard time getting in touch with her as well but as time went on i just gave up and stopped trying to contact her.
funny thing is, in the last few months i had felt compelled to get back in contact with her and something was constantly telling me to do it but i was to wrapped up in my own stuff and would always forget about it. i feel bad for not contacting her when i knew i should have and it was pretty easy to do so, but that is purely in hindsight and due to the fact i'll never see her again. wow....i'll never see her again. that hurts a little.
today i met a woman who said to me "you only do this thing once and you should do it the way you want"
too true. sarah was only 29 and she died from cancer. she refused treatment.
