life

Last night, I found out that a friend of a friend of mine that I had met once about a month ago died. I remember seeing posts on my newsfeed that all read something similar; RIP, may you rest in peace, etc. I was confused, I had JUST met her. She was so very much alive then. I thought it was a cruel joke. So, I started searching. I typed into google various search words and after a few tries, there is was. 20 year old, dead, head-on collision. She had died in a car crash. Although, I had only met her once and not that well, I felt a moment of grief pass through me. Life, truly is a gift. Life, truly is precious. They say that the good die young and there is probably a bigger, better plan for her. Take the time to live and love. For you really don't know when you won't have that chance anymore. I wonder what the last few moments felt like; what flashed before her eyes. Rest in Peace.
