Another incomprehensible tragedy

Since I moved here last summer life has continued back home - there have been births, marriages, moves, break-ups, new relationships, and deaths. Mostly senseless premature deaths. Beautiful, strong, intelligent women.

The first was due to cancer, a disease, something we are all at a certain level of risk for, something, while tragic, we can combat, or at least grasp, and comprehend.

THIS is beyond words. There is no explanation. You can't hope for something that will make sense. Robin was friends with Jim, Gary, Billy - and all those Runamockians/MHS guys who have a special place in my heart... I have heard her sing, enjoyed her stories, shared her smiles, and listened to her laugh. She was the embodiment of vitality, enthusiasm, and talent. The world has lost a special lady.

Please, if you pray, to whomever it is you pray to, pray for her friends and family. Pray for your own, that you may truly appreciate what you have and those who love you. Life is sometimes far too short.
