Young Lives Snuffed Out By Fate

Krauter · 02-06-11, 10:25 PM

Just heard about this today. A 19 year old girl from my old high school (graduate a year before me) died yesterday out snowmobiling.

This just kind of hit me hard for some reason, thinking how young she was and how well though of she was in the community. This, as well as another young student who died earlier this year after a long battle with cancer mark two young lives snuffed out by fate that I have had the privilege of knowing.

Do what you will with this post, maybe post a story of someone you knew who just had that bad timing.

God bless,

My senior year before the first football game of the season, a player killed himself before the game, and he wasn't found until after the game had started.

A friend of mine all through High School had gotten a girl pregnant before his 21st birthday, and on his birthday he went out to a bar. Instead of having a designated driver he went alone and on his way back to his girlfriend he either passed out or fell asleep and slammed into a telephone poll. The car then caught fire and was burned up.

I didn't know her personally, but a girl from my town's neighboring high school died on the way to her High School Graduation in a car crash.

My condolences, but death is all around us whether we like it or not, there's no escape. I'll try to keep religion out of it, but it is best to to believe there is something more than just this life. That's what I believe.

Cheers mate, my condolences.

I don't know if religion has anything to do with it, but to me, it's just the thought of someone so young and having so much opportunity and potential ahead that gets cut short that's a shame.

Ain't that the truth

Sad, but true.

I'm sorry to hear it. When I was in 7th Grade the father of a kid in our class killed himself. In high school I read about a student who was killed in a car crash.

It will happen, and the older you get the more it will happen. Pretty much all you can really do is live with it, and hope it doesn't happen to anyone close to you.

But what if you don't? Does believing it really help? I don't know.

Lost one friend 3 years ago, commited suicide (21), just out of the blue. We never knew he was seeing a therapist.
We coined a saying, dark saying: the only time we can get the class together is on a funeral.
