So sorry I haven't updated this week...
On Sunday, a friend and peer of mine was murdered. We graduated together just last year, and his death came as a real shock to me. He was walking home late at night (or rather early in the morning) when he was shot to death in a drive by shooting. The police don't seem to know much about what happened, so I personally feel like it's unlikely the murderers will be caught.
What is most horrifying to me is that he was the kindest, sweetest person I've had the great honor of knowing. He was so generous and kind to everyone; I never heard him say a single mean thing to or about anyone. He had a contagious laugh, smile, and gave possibly the biggest hugs in existence. His loss is shocking in the first place, but when you consider the violence of it all.. It's just... It's really horrifying.
Anyways. We held a candlelight memorial for him. We put candles and flowers, even little tokens, on the corner where he was killed. It was cool to see everyone come together to remember him.
He was really an incredible person.
