Too, too soon

The young adult son of a family friend died this weekend suddenly, and the news has made me so, so sad.  He'd spent time on a rocky road, for sure, but things were looking up.  Such a blow.

I only met him once when he was a teenager--I remember how friendly he was, how he chattered away like we'd known each other for years.  I remember how young he was, too.  Excited by life.  Full of freshness.

RIP.
