here's to kristin roach
She's gone. And while I have been laying around trying to comprehend all aspects of this all day, I have realized that doesn't do any good. It's actually terrible that such a vibrant being with so many hopes for changing the world has left so early, but I think rather then write an entire post about how terrible this is, it is better for me to recount some of the amazing memories I have of such a colorful and fun being who will never ever be forgotten.
The first night I met Kristin was the night of Winter Ball my Junior year of high school. Sam, Jason, Kristin and myself went to Dicks for dinner.... complete in formal wear and tennis shoes. We then went to gameworks and played video games, after which we went to Urban Outfitters and played more video games and took pictures... then off to the dance we went. And it was probably one of the most fond memories I have of a high school dance. We grooved on the dance floor for hours, and just had an amazing time. We were all goofy, but happy.
I remember all of the trips to Bainbridge Island for concerts and such. And all of the fun that entailed. All of the movie nights at Jason's house and I remember Kristin's smiling face always ready to record every minute of it with her camera.
I have to go study now or something but here are my final thoughts on Kristin. She put a smile on everyone's face. She was so joyous and vibrant. She is the only girl I have thought good enough for my dearest best friend and she will be missed. I was looking forward to spending time with her when I returned home this summer and very sad about the loss of such an amazing woman!
