"In the arms of the angels, far away from here"
In the past couple days I've underestimated the power of friendship and human contact. The beginning of the week paralleled with today is how I've arrived at this conclusion. Today I woke up, went to English class, took a Psychology exam, went to work at Court Jester, went back to school for my English discussion, went home to have dinner by myself because the family was done already, and then I returned to school for my Calc exam. In all seriousness I interacted with probably 2 aquaintances today with the exception of the TAs that handed my exams to me. Yesterday and Tuesday during tragedy and sorrow I found myself surrounded by the people I love most. Whether it was a shoulder to lean on or a hand to hold we all stuck together. Thank you for that.
Lauren is someone who meant so much to everyone including myself and it's awful to see her go well before her time. She truly lived a full life that anyone three times her age could wish for. I will not dwell on the past but just look back and smile at all the great memories she gave us. Seeing her little sister Lindz get in front of the entire church and talk about her sister must have taken strength only comprehendable by people who have gone through that experience. I have never been so moved by the words of a single person. Keep your friends close, keep your true friends closer, and don't let life pass you by. Human interaction makes us who we are and it is this interaction that will allow others to remember us when we leave them. Rest easy Lauren and keep singing up there.
