May Angels Lead You In...

you never think that something like that could happen to you.
you just live your life and hear this stories from a distance, from an audience point of view.
you know, you wake up in the morning, go to work, hang with your friends. you just live your life.

Think about this, how many times do we use the expression "see you soon" or "see you later"?
what if "later" never comes? what if one day you leave your house and you never get the chance to came back anymore.
you say "see you later mom" but instead you won't see each again. ever!

These are the questions that are haunting me right now. the reason why i'm writing on my computer at 6 in the morning because i haven't been able to sleep all night.

Silvia was a friend of mine. we grew up toghether, went to kindergarden toghether and elemtary school too.
i've been knowing her for my whole life. our grandparents were neighbours when we were little and i remember i used to spend a lot of afternoons with her, playing, doing homeworks, going to the beach...

then life gets in the way. you choose different schools, start to hang with other people and kind of grew apart.
but that's normal. that's how life is. and that sure doesn't mean you forget about all the good memories you have with that person.

then one day you recive a phone call from another good friend of yours who's telling you that there's been a terrible accident and silvia didn't make it.
and you realize that suddenly something like that just happend to you! you're not in the audience this time, but right there on stage.
and how are you supposed to react? where do you find the streight in moments like this?
she was just 20 years old, she had her whole life ahead. she didn't even get the chance to say goodbye to anyone.
can someone find comfort in this? because i'm sure i can't!
all i have right now is anger and pain and sadness.

It doesn't have to happend a tragedy like this to remind us how fragile life is.
we have to know it everyday whether it's a happy or a sad one.
we have just one life and we don't have to waste it!


Goodbye Silvia, I will miss you so much and I'm sure I'll never forget about you!

May you Rest in Peace.
Love Always,
Roberta
