Yesterday, I was on Facebook all of a sudden an unexpected message was sent to me that revealed sad news, in my already sad life. Kimberly Gidge died, a friend from my days of high school. Although we were not close, she was still someone dear to me. Someone whom I walked to school with, ate lunch at the mall with, and joked around foolishly with. Although her journey was short, perhaps she is in a better place now. This situation has made think about living life more. And thinking twice about making important decisions in life. Kim was so young when she passed away. Her parents would be the ones attending her funeral, and not the other way around. I can't imagine what they're going through. It breaks my heart that this has happened so sudden. Yesterday I was shocked upon hearing about the news in school. And now writing this, I'm able to express more. I thought something was wrong with me for not crying at the news of her death. But I'm shaking right now as I write this.
This also made me think about the times we've spent together,the amount of times we laughed and joked around. This was all in the days of high school. This will take sometime to get over, but I've already had a funeral earlier in the year. I'm not the best person to be around with, when it comes to funerals, I get all shaky and heart starts beating fast and I start breathing fast. And then my mom would ask me, "What are you going to do, when it's time for mine." The answer to this I do not know, when the time comes which will be a LOOOOOOOOOONG time from now I will find out.
I'm finally allowing myself to feel sad.
Kim may your soul rest in peace, and continue to live on enternally.
Farewell! God knows when we shall meet again. ~William Shakespeare
Lord bless Kim and her beloved family with the strength to overcome through these difficult times.
