This weekend a friend of mine from work was killed in a car accident with two of her friends. A few of us were at work when we found out the night it happened. Someone had IMed looking for a phone number and told us Sheri had been killed. At first we thought they were playing a really stupid joke because it seemed so totally unbelievable. She was one of those people who are just really nice and sweet and vivacious. It was impossible to imagine her not being around. It still is.
One thing that was eery was that I had just chatted with her on AIM about two hours before. Before she signed off she apologized for having to leave abruptly because she had to run off to meet her friends.
I haven’t been back to work since Saturday, but I’m sure everything is completely turned upside down.
I’m sorry to hear about your friend, Chris. That is so sad, and so shocking…particularly since you had just spoken to her.
*Hugs*

I’m so sorry about your friend.
me too — sending the white light.
lots of endings happening. one of my teachers in school is mourning the suicide of her youngest son’s best friend; she poured her heart out on the class message board and all the students wrote in their condolences. community happens in unexpected places.
peace…
Thanks, guys. To me it just makes me think about how quickly people you know and care about can leave your life.
