sadness

one of my friends from high school's brother and his wife and kids all just got killed over the weekend in a giant awful accident. an out-of-control semi with a broken axel smashed into them head-on.

i remember paul, vividly but limitedly. i'm so sad for their family, especially my friend's mom, who had to see a child die, which must be the worst thing ever, and grandchildren too.

my friend, B, had a best friend in high school named D. last night i dreamed that i went to a mall where D worked, and even though i hadn't seen D in years, we just started hugging and crying.

strange how something so distant can be affecting. also strange is the fact that over the past few days i've been thinking a lot about B, just wondering how she's doing and remembering fun times and stuff. maybe i caught a vibration or something.
