It seems that my blog of late has been very depressing. I do not intend for this to happen, and tonight is no different.
Last night a school friend was killed in a car accident. Robert was my age, and we met in seventh grade. He was a really nice guy, I remember so clearly one time I was hurt (bugger knocked me down while we played soccer), and he was so concerned. He helped me up and made sure I was okay. Not quite like the other 12 year old boys in the class, who undoubtedly would have laughed at the new girl on her butt!
Robert was always a nice guy, he seemed to get along with everyone. I hadn't seen him since school, but we kept in touch on Facebook.
Last night Robert's friend was driving down a busy road in my town, one I use every day and is prone to frequent flooding, when the car hydroplaned into an oncoming semi truck. Robert wasn't wearing his seatbelt, and was thrown from the vehicle. He died shortly after.
I was watching the facts being written on his Facebook wall last night, comment after horrifying comment, and it was a complete shock. Why didn't he wear his seatbelt? I don't understand why people continue to be so careless. It angers me, but that won't do any good. He is dead.
I am scared to use that road now. If there is a heavy rainfall, I think I will use an alternate route to work. I am going to visit the site in a couple days, however, to see if there has been a memorial set up where I can leave flowers.
So sad to say goodbye..
RIP Robert
1982~2010
