Today a friend of my best friend died in a motorcycle accident. He was on the highway and a car that was driving on the shoulder of the road cut him off. He was only 24. The driver just sped away, and hasnt been found.

I didn't know him all that well, the few times I spent in his company were always fun, he was a great guy. My friend is really taking it hard, this guy was very close to her older brother, and she's never really had anybody she knew die before. It hurts me to see her and his other friends in pain like this. I went to the hospital with her, for support, and it was just devastating. To hear his mother cry for him like that, it was so heartbreaking.

Twice in my life now I've had people close to me taken away, and today brought up a lot of painful memories. Not so much that I forgot, more like suppressed the pain. It comes at the weirdest times. Somebody will say something and I'll feel a sharp pain in my chest, and think of my dad. Or I'll see a little girl, who reminds me of my cousin, who died when she was just 15.

I only wish it didn't take things like this happening to make people realize how much they take those around them for granted.

To think that somebody could cause this, and not even stop their damn car is sickening. I'm just praying for the family, I hope they find the strength to get through this, I know all too well how hard loss is.
