Today I just found out that the girl who had the dorm across the hall from me in high school died of Leukemia. We were never close in particular, but the whole school was so small that we all knew everything about each other. Favorite color, every hookup past and present, and whether we were fans of toast before dorm meeting or not. We all had quirks, and we all fit together in our weird ways. You could just never say that you didn't really know someone, because we all had a relationship together, even if it wasn't in the obvious ways. We just had to do so much together in such close quarters that not
knowing each other wasn't an option at all. I've lost family before, and friends too, but it's so strange to think that someone who you were in such a close proximity with for such a long time is suddenly just not there anymore.
