I was planning on posting about the upcoming holidays this evening while making cookies, but I'm afraid my festive mood has taken a turn. While on Myspace a couple of hours ago, I found out that a girl I graduated high school with has passed away. I didn't know her very well, but I was in the drumline with her husband for 3 years. It's not so much that I've lost a close friend or anything, but I feel very sad for Jason and wish I could do something. I think the thing that bothers me the most is that she was only 25 and I have no idea how she passed away. It seems like every couple of years, I hear of someone I went to high school with has passed away. It usually takes a couple of days for me to fully digest this information because I will always remember these people as being young and full of life. Comprehending that that person is lying dead somewhere doesn't sit well with me, no matter how close I was to that person. I haven't seen either Cathy or Jason in years other than when Cathy found me on MySpace, but it just doesn't seem right. I looked at the pictures in her account and she looks just like she did in high school. She and Jason seemed very happy. I can't even imagine what Jason is going through right now. This would be my worst nightmare. Please pray for Cathy's family. I know that they miss her very much.
