Mortality

[Mousey Girl]

Leo, dying in childbirth is not that impossible, it doesn't happen often, but it still happens. I almost died with Nickolas. Had my original OB been the one there at the hospital I would have died, luckily he was not and the doctor who was there acted quickly. It still upsets my mom to talk about it.

My 20 year is going to be over Thanksgiving weekend. The only person that I know of who died was killed about a year after graduation. He was a punk who mouthed off to the wrong person during a party. He was very cruel and thought he could get away with anything.

I probably will not be attending the reunion. I have given it much thought and I only really associated with about 10 people out of a class of 300, and was only close to 3 or 4. It is fun to see how everyone has changed, but since I don't remember them anyway I don't really care. I was only there for my Jr & Sr years and tried to keep to myself as much as possible.

With the subject or mortality, the anniversay of Jimmy's suicide is quickly approaching. it just amazes me that by taking his own life he has managed to ruin the lives of a lot of others (mine included).

An oddly poignant exercise is to take your teachers/professors with unique names or some form of acclaim and Google them or look them up on the Social Security Death Index to see who has died. I found a couple of new ones just last night.
