All too soon...

So, ever since the summer before my sophmore year in high school, people I know and love have been dying. That summer my great-grandfather passed and 2 months later, my best (older) friend died of a massive heartattack. Then, just after school let out after 10th grade, my great-grandmother passed. I don't think anyone died my junior year. Then my senior year, my step-grandfather died. My freshman year at college, my great-aunt died. Last year (sophmore year), I found my grandmother dead. This past year (junior), a kid I graduated with got into a horrible car accident right before Thanksgiving and was brain damaged; they pulled the plug. Then at the beginning of April, a friend of the family who is my mom's best friend's daughter and I think she even baby-sat me, had a bad reaction to medicine, fell asleep at the wheel. She ended up rolling her truck three times, was thrown from it and laid un-noticed for 4 hours until the sun came up and someone realized that there was someone laying out in the field. She ended up dying on Hot Dog Day. Then when I was on my little vacation to Myrtle Beach, my sister called to tell me a kid she knew (and I sort-of knew) blew his head off after learning he wouldn't be able to graduate. She also told me that two kids she knew died in a car accident and one girl I knew was in critical condition b/c of it. Thank goodness she is ok now. Noooooooooooow, Doc Walker has passed away. I kept wanting to take one of her classes before I graduated, but it never fit in, until this coming semester. Now, I'll never get to experience the glorious educator that she was. She battle ovarian cancer for 4 years. She was doing great until this spring when she was having trouble w/it again. She was an awesome lady. *looking up to the sky* We will miss you Doc. We will all miss you. And I found out today, that a girl I kind of knew here died yesterday from a heartattack. AT 21 YEARS OLD!!! What the F? This is so depressing. So many people I know have passed away in these past 6 months. I can't believe it.
