we lost another high school class mate this morning. I was brought back into my world's reality with the news of his lost fight with renal failure. He had been sick for some time and was recently taken off the donors list. We had been expecting it for a few weeks now... it's just the reality of it that is heart-breaking. He has two wonderful sons who loved him very much and were by his side until the end. We have lost so many of our graduating class it is frightening at times, I suppose that is why we have all grasped so closely together in the last 4 years. It's heartbreaking and mind boggling. SO much sickness, so much cancer, so many accidents and even suicides. Well, here I am sitting here alone wondering how I can help ease the pain of those closest to him. This is the first summer we haven't had a big get together and I right now I am missing it so much.
