Got some bad news today


RookieBlue7

Recommended Posts

I got some bad news today, this afternoon when I got off of work or all things when I clicked on Facebook to see what was going on in the world.  That's when I came across the BOMBSHELL... My first ever real girlfriend I had, which I met at church in my teens passed away.  She was 29 years young, and died of natural causes is all her dad has said.  I've kept in touch with her through the years and we were friends on facebook, chatted occasionally to catch up, etc.  Her family are all good people, her dad runs one of the bigger tournaments around that he's had for nearly 2 decades now that plays in NC.  He's a good guy.  Her mom is a good lady as well.  Her younger sister is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet.  And I don't know her fiance (they just got engaged in April and closed on their new house roughly a week or so ago), but he seems like he's a good guy as well.  This just proves to me that you truly never know when one's time is up on this earth and to live every day, every hour, every minute and every second like it's your last.  While we're not nearly as close as we once were, she was still my first love and it's a sad day for me.  She was one of the most energetic persons I've ever met and had a real passion for life and for helping others.  The world may have lost a great individual, but heaven just got a new angel.  Thanks for giving me a place to download folks, I had to put thought to words somewhere.  If you're the praying type, send up a prayer for her family, as they're going to need all of the love they can get during this trying time.

Not one of the more religious people you will run across, but the longer I am on this place the more I feel like things really do happen for a reason.  

 

Hard to believe that cliche in a situation like this but if this in fact true, it makes situations like this just a little bit easier to swallow.  Sorry to hear about the news you got RB.

I've gotten a little more info via my mom who went to church tonight. She went to walk a local walking trail up a local mini mountain (it's like 250-300 feet if rise but winds up the mountain. Anyway, her and a friend went today and walked the trail. When they got down, she told her friend her chest was a little tight but she'd be fine when the friend offered to take her to the doctor. They went home and whomever found her (I'd imagine her fiancé) found her slumped over passed away. Revival efforts failed. The supposition is a massive heart attack but they won't know for sure until an autopsy.

Oh, I'm good.  I was mainly in shock and needed a place to decompress upon hearing the news.  I do hate this for her family and loved ones.  Like I said, it was shocking when I heard the news.  I'm sure her family had the ultimate shock, especially as I've learned that her younger sister was the one that found her.  I was mainly putting this out there for myself to decompress and to ask for those that do to pray that they can find peace and comfort.  I still can not believe that such a young life is gone.  It's sad and it's shocking.  It also is further proof that nothing is guaranteed, not tomorrow, not the next hour, and not the next second.  It lets you know to hug those close to you and to cherish every moment on this earth because you never know when it'll be your last.  Live in the now, not for the future or dwelling on the past because every second wasted is one you can't get back.  I will continue to be praying for this family during the next several days as these are sure to be some of the most trying times they'll ever face.

Thoughts and prayers are with you.  Life is way too short to not cherish every moment that you have and I learned that the hard way after I lost my father a little over a year ago.
