This morning my phone rang at 5:53am. It took a while for me to clue in that it was the ringtone I have set for J. I was wondering what he was calling for because we both went to bed after 2.
Anyway, he called to tell me that one of his gamer friends who lived right around the corner from him, had died.
She was only my age too.
I'm very saddened by this news, I didn't really know her all that well, but I had spent time with her and the rest of the people that lived in that house a few times.
Apparently she had a seizure while taking a shower and landed face first into water. It was the middle of the night so the shower had run for hours. One of the housemates realized this and then checked on her, and called an ambulance but I think it was too late by that point.
It just puts everything in perspective how someone so young can be met with this fate so suddenly. I actually deleted the post I wrote yesterday about the gamer code I was annoyed with. Because after this, that just seemed to petty.
I'm torn whether I should head to Moncton at the end of the week for support for J. I guess we'll see.
Rest in Peace Joline.
I am sorry to hear that. Even since before graduating from high school we began losing our classmates, thankfully in no more than a trickle, it doesn't stop, and it never gets easier. For you, then, I offer this virtual hug. Daphne
