Just plain sad....

I figured that I would write this here because...let's face it....no one reads this!

Well..probably about a month ago I meet a friend of a girl that I work with. She seemed as if she was a really good friend to the girl....they were bestfriends and planning to get an apartment together. She gave me her # and offered to do my youngest child's hair. I was so happy to find someone close by that knew what my child was going through hair wise and could help.

Well yesterday I decided to get something to eat at work after I was done working.I had a really bad day and I wanted to chill out a little b4 I went home. The girl from work stopped by but didn't really stay in the store that long. She didn't look her normal self so I asked the Manager, who had just spoke w/ her, if she was ok. Come to find out that the friend of her's that I had met had killed herself over the weekend. I really haven't been close to that type of situation b4. I have had death it self all around me...not that I'm getting used to it or anything but there is almost a comforting feeling to know that someone live out their life. Not saying that it's easy when someone dies of old age or something...but its easier to cope I think.

I can't seem to get my head around her killing herself...to me there was no indication or anything! She had such a spirit...and seemed to be a good friend. What was so bad that she couldn't talk to her friend? What was so bad...she was only 19? I wish that I had called her...maybe if I had given her something else to concentrate on she would still be here. I don't understand why it's upsetting me so bad and I hardly knew her. Maybe it's the thought of a life cut way too short. Maybe I look at my girls and hope that it never gets that far.

Maybe it's just plain sad.....

Things are not always supposed to make sense to us. We can see thing we would be grateful for if we were her, but since are not, we can't make assumptions about what was going on in her mind. Was it sad? Yes. Was it without point? Only one person knew for sure and it's a little too late to ask questions now. The most important thing to remember is what you take away from her death, how much pain it caused and how to make sure we never do that to the people we care about.
