A classmate of mine, Jake, passed away about a month ago in an auto accident. However, I wasn't told this until about a week ago. I find it hard to wrap my mind around the fact that he's gone. I didn't know this young man very well, but from what I'd observed by listening, watching, and talking a little bit to him, he struck me as intelligent, alert, independent, but at the same time, easy going. I was deeply saddened when I found out he'd passed away. My main regret is that I didn't take the time to really get to know him. As we had a few moments of silence for Jake in class today, I reflected on how fragile, yet precious, life is and how each moment needs to be treasured.
Please keep Jake's family in your prayers as they go through this difficult time.
