On Saturday, someone I grew up with died in a car accident. He was 19. We weren't close friends by any means, but it's the first time Death has brushed my arm as he walked by.

Oh man, I'm sorry. Not being close doesn't mean it doesn't hurt, and it doesn't mean you shouldn't feel sad or grieve his passing. A classmate died in a car accident my last year of high school. We weren't close, but we'd been in classes together since we were eight years old. I still remember him in second grade. We weren't close, we hung out with different people and had different hobbies and interests, but I still choke up a little when I think of him. His funeral was really tough. That was seventeen years ago. His name was Ryan.
