Mortality

I mentioned a couple weeks ago that a former college roommate had died very soon after being diagnosed with leukemia.

Well, with my 20th HS reunion next Saturday in Napa, CA, I've been in contact with some long lost friends about it. I am flabbergasted by the numbers of HS friends that have passed. One died of skin cancer, another during childbirth (??? in this day and age???), another from an infection from a spiderbite (??? again, in this day and age???), another in a traffic accident. There are a couple more that I was made aware of but the circumstances weren't known.

Just freaking wierd.

Am I alone in this revelation of how many people I used to know have died? Or do I have unrealistic expectations? What abou you all out there in LoT land? Have you had common experiences?
