In highschool a beautiful, smart and energetic young girl named Stephanie Ramadeen died in a car accident.

She wasn't a best or close friend - but we were friends.
It was tragic.


...

Most of my friends have been lost to time - growing up, changing, moving. Sometimes losing a friend to death seem like it might be easier because losing touch with someone for no evident reason hurts ... but again I haven't really lost someone close to me so this is a hypothetical feeling.

Though I certainly know I regret losing contact with friends over time, especially the ones who shaped me and were so much a part of my life that at those times I really believed in forever.
