Today I found out that I lost someone who I cared about very much. I was a counselor at a summer camp in the U.S, and one of my kids died in a car accident 2 days ago. She was 15. I know, I'm not meant to have favourites, but she was one of mine, and we were pretty close.

 

I know this isn't the right place to post this, but I feel that I need to vent, even here. She was a terrific kid, and she was going to grow up to be an amazing young woman.

 

I feel so terrible that this has happened to her. It's so senseless, I can't understand it. All this time I've been upset about a stupid relationship and worried about my future....and she doesn't even get a future. She'll never get married, never have kids. She was just starting to live. It's so unfair.

 

Gotta say - this has snapped me right back into perspective.

I missed her as it was. I was going to visit her next year.

Imagine how much I miss her now...

Love - that breaks my heart I am so sorry for your loss. It really does make you think about how short life is and how stupid and petty people can be. Best wishes to you and your family and friends that are affected by this. <3

I don't feel I've ever wasted my life, but I'm even more determined not to waste it now. I just don't understand.
