It finally hit. My reactions are now the right ones. The grief for the lose of life. On Tuesday, I was informed, but it didn't impact me...until now. My hard shell has made me slow to react, even to the end of someones life.
On Tuesday morning, my dad read an obit, concerned. It was for a young boy named Jacob. He was a Freshman at my school. He had died in his sleep the night before. I didn't think much of it. That is, until the entire school was talking about it. One of my own teachers was broken up about the lose. Now I see the pain that everyone should feel. A mysterious death of such a young boy should bring people to stop and think. So many already miss him, Jacob having been in so many activities, and even now, those who weren't even close to him, but knew him, went to his wake to say goodbye. It pains me to think of how short he lived...and of how much he will miss.
I pray that for God's blessing on his family and friends. I also pray for those who know him and were impacted. I also pray for his young soul. Rest in peace, Jacob.
