A girl that i went to school with passed away today. A sad post on FB and confirmation from a friend.
Went to school with her in like 6th or 7th grade. Maybe both. We weren't close friends, but we knew each other. I think she liked me, but she liked everyone. She had a big heart. She was friendly and wanted mostly to be happy. And worked towards it. Not the brightest bulb in the box... I have this vivid image of her trying to cheat on an English test. Most obvious cheat sheet of all times. The teacher called her out on it and she still denied it. That stuck with me. It's been more than 20 years since that happened. Even if we stopped being classmates, it was a small town. We saw each other and she always had a smile and a hello ready. And now she is gone. Due to some random kidney illness that struck her and denied her the chance to keep being happy.
If the after life really exists, I sure hope she can be happy there, sharing joy and her easy laugh. Rest in Peace Marisa.
