Too young to die
Vivian Timmins 1955 (United States)
Reading obituaries today, in our local IJ. Reading about friends who passed away, some so young I don't know what to say all I know is life shouldn't be this way. Earlier we saw Lacey at emergency, crying her eyes out, she is suicidal, as the other Lacey prepares for her bridal and Andrew died too, now he joins my son, not like they used to, when they used to play, never did I imagine both would pass away. Michelle is in there as well, so many people in turmoil and sorrow in this living hell. And then there are the ones who don't give a damn about life or any expression there of, no kindness no love. This is our chance, it dosn't last long and all they can reap is doing people wrong. Why aren't they the ones who move along, and clear the way for all those dead people I'm reading about today. The ones who had so much in their heart & soul. Had talents to share, showed they really cared, why couldn't they be the ones who's lives were spared.
