Happy 4th of July. I literally just found out 15 minutes ago that someone I had met once just passed away on Sunday. She wasn't an acquaintance, but also not quite a friend. More like a friend of friends whom I spent a few days with during the summer the past 2 years. I can't say I was close to her or her bf, but because my friends were close to her, and I'm close with these friends, and just the fact that I met her and have spent time with her, has made her passing impact me. SInce I didn't know her very well, I'm not devastated, but it does make me sad. And it makes my heart break to know her bf was there when she passed. For not knowing them very well I could tell he really loved her. And it must've sucked for C to have gotten this devastating news on his way down to a week long beach vacation. It just got me thinking that people come and go all the time. Babies are born, people die, couples get married, ALL THE TIME. That's life. Constantly changing. I just watched this piece on brian williams this morning about the highest observatory in Chile. They've got lots of satellites, high tech equipment, all to explore the universe. And there was this photo that they showed of just this small part in the sky, yet it held like 20 different galaxies. It's just interesting to me how deaths can be so profound, and yet we can be so insignificant in the universe, and both these things can be happening simultaneously at any moment of any day. It's all very mind blowing.
