R.I.P.
its never something that people enjoy hearing about, but its even worse when its so unsuspected.
back in september a few friends and i were hanging out in my garage working on our bikes, it was one of my friends birthday who was there when we got a call that one of our good friends had died a few hours before when he was racing motorcycles in arkansas. everyone in my school district knew/liked the kid (which is a lot seeing as theres 600 kids/grade). his dad was a pro racer, and my friend, at the age of 14, was not too far away from that.
and just about a year ago, it was a similar situation with me and a few friends plus my brother just hanging out on my deck when my mom came out and in a really sincere voice asked me brother and i to go inside. i knew something was up, and was wondering what it could be, i figured that something happened to the grandma who was living with us (and is in pretty poor health), but i found out that my grandma on my dads side died in a car accident. it was the 2nd to last day of school, so i had to go into my math final with that on my mind the whole time, went down to the wake and funeral, then came back up to take my biology regents.
