Passing Away

Today I heard that someone who I used to go to primary school with, has passed away. It was a suicide. Its kind of weird to think that someone who I used to be so close to is gone, we used to live near each other and we would hang out frequently. That all stopped when she moved away and we both went to separate high schools, sometimes I wanted to talk to her, I missed the friendship we used to have and I now I know that we will never be close again.

I only heard about it in passing, by accident because someone went to her funeral, I don't know any of the details but everytime someone dies it hurts just the same. I wonder what was going on, what happened to the girl I used to know? My mum always tried to stop us hanging out because she was always loud and had a colourful vocabulary that adults always hated, but it made everything we did so fun. Wherever she is (since I don't really have any views on the afterlife) I hope its somewhere that she would want to be.
