too soon

[mariamousie1]

So here's what happened the other day. I learned that someone in my class at college was killed in a motorcycle accident. He was a really nice guy. I didn't know him that well despite being in the same classes for 2 years, but he once split a box of smarties with me, and would say hi when we'd meet on the bus. He was twenty.
I was pretty depressed for a couple of days after that, now I'm finally up to posting again.
What I can't figure out is how somebody can die when they're TWENTY? When they are just starting their life? I can't stop thinking about it. Okay, I'm done. Sorry for being depressing...

Sorry for your loss. I had plenty of classmates from high school die from car accidents and one died from a motorcycle accident a few weeks after we graduated high school (this is over 9 years ago). It's depressing to say the least.

It's sad to say but it's happens a lot more than we think. Still doesn't make it any easier. Sorry for your loss.

Someone in the senior class died every year I was in high school (heart condition, car accident in icy conditions, cancer, and car accident of unknown cause, respectively). I only knew one of them personally (the last one, who I had some classes with, though I didn't know him well), but it's always a shock. Definitely too soon.

Thanks- it's the first time I've ever known someone to die so young although I know it happens. I think that's why I'm so shocked. One of the reasons why, I should say.
