A classmate from high school, who I'd known for almost ten years passed away last month in his sleep. I didn't really know him personally, but the fact that I'd gone through classes, group projects, football games, homecoming parades, prom, graduation with him shocked me. It's painful to see somebody grow up and then all of a sudden disappear. Somebody so young and ready for life.
He was part of a journey, after all. Indirectly or not, he composed a part of who I was, of who we were.
Rest in peace, Anthony Guzman. May your family be given the strength to move on, especially your sisters.
