Life isn't fair. We all know that. It doesn't always play fair and it changes the rules as it goes along. But it's really not fair that 18 year olds have to die to remind us of this. It's not fair that they leave behind friends who at eighteen, think they are invincibly and can do anything. It's not fair that they have to realize they aren't.
My nephew lost his friend this weekend to a car accident. In the order of things, grandparents die, great aunts die.... friends of your parents. Not your best friend.
My nephew will go on with his life, perhaps a little more cautiously then before... but he will go on. After all... this is a life lesson and all part of growing up. And yeah.... the one thing he will remember the rest of his life about this? Life isn't fair.
