I was scanning the webpage of the local newspaper here, and I noticed the headline "Identity of *name of my town* crash victim revealed". I went to the story and found out that the person who was killed in a single car accident last night was a girl I went to high school with.
Now it's not like she was a close personal friend, but it was someone I had more than a few classes with. You know the type, you talk with them at school but not outside of it. It seems like it was just yesterday we were all going to English class together, and things like car accidents were things we never thought would happen to anyone *we* knew.
"She was such a nice person" seems like such a cop-out thing to say but it's the truth in this case. She was pretty much what every parent would hope their kid would turn out to be: good student, never in trouble, and from what the obituary read it seems as if she went on to college and a good job at an eye doctor's office. Certainly not someone who deserved to have it all end at age 30.
So Nicole, you may not have remembered that guy who was seemingly in your English class every year in high school, but here's to your memory. We'll miss ya kid, and now I wish I went to my 10 year reunion a few years back. Let it be a lesson to everyone, you never know what can happen so don't assume that you can just catch someone the next time.
