alfred. died on his 18th birthday. run over by a car backing out in a parking lot
i dont know this guy. and neither did my friend that told me about it. this guy was only friend of a few friends.. though neither me nor the one that told me actually know him, it still touched us and made us unhappy and at least changed the mood that day.
i found out when she was talking on the phone with me.. and asked me what i would do to tell her friend that doesnt know about this tragedy yet. i tried so hard to comfort her and give her some type of advice.. but i was blank.. all i had was.. pray. and GOD can help you and your friend.
while all this, i was also trying to reply posts on the very popular facebook. and on the left of the post box, there was this really popular appliciation -- the "Top Friends" application. it really got me thinking. that application's main function is to prove that you favor certain people, and who they are. and i thought.. i really dont think that a list like that could possibly hold all the people that have made a positive influence in one's life.. its one way to exclude..
then i thought back to my conversation.
i think that it would break down my world so much if any of my friends, even people who would be on my "Top Friends" list, just left me one day. doesnt matter how close we were. they made a difference in my life for the better.
and this qoute came to my mind: "people walk in and out of your life.. but friends leave footprints in your heart" i'm sure you've heard of it.. but just think it through again..
RIP ALFRED

Crystal, this is Mary =)
Awww this is sad, and I get what you mean, throughout the whole post. You really got me thinking.
Like we gotta stop taking people for granted. Even the people that we usually don't talk to or hang out with... like BUS DRIVERS. Where would we be without them?
Ok I think I'm going off topic, but I think it's a good idea for us to thank God for all the people that He's put in our lives. And cherish those people cuz you never know what they mean until they're gone.
Love you Crystal!
