Be still.

This week, someone in my high school graduating class passed away. 32 years old, massive heart attack. He had an enlarged heart. I'm from a small farm town. Most of the people in my class I've known since kindergarten or before; Carter was no exception. I was never close with him, but I have a couple of fond memories of him

Well said; I pray for his soul, too. I did not feel old when two of my friends younger than me died (I felt old with 9/11) but it did hit me very hard. I dreamt of one of them later - dunno what it meant other than some consolation.

I am not in touch with folks from that far back - I sort of envy you that way. At the same time, I made that choice (and several since then) to break free or create other groups of friends and thank God I have been fortunate to have that happen, that people still care (like here).

Wow - that's pretty intense.

While death can happen at any age, it's odd to be entering that phase of life where it's more likely to happen.

We're still too young.
