I was 17 when my happy little world came crashing down. I come from a VERY small town and school. One of my very good friends and neighbor died suddenly. He was only 18, set to graduate as valedictorian, had a full ride scholarship, and EVERYONE loved him. THe night before the quarterfinal game of the state basketball playoffs, he had a stomach aneurism and died instantly. Talk about a wake up call. It took a long time to realize that things like that really do happen and especially to people who have so bright a future.
