This One's for Haiti

And so I've been sitting here wondering how the world just keeps moving on

moving on as if nothing happened.

We watch the news and read the papers. We see the bodies, we see the devastation but for this to hit so close...

I'm sitting here thinking that I'll never see her again

She'll never come to any '09 reunions

She won't finish her program at UVA

I'll never be able to catch up with her and reminisce about first year

or about UVA

or anything

I'm thinking about all the instances I've had with her

how I always thought she was so sweet

so classy

I loved her hair

I loved her accent

I loved her smile and her laugh

I always wanted to get to know her just a little better

But it's too late now

I think back to meeting her first year

to winter ball

to our nights out with the girls

to being peer advisors

her house of raunch

our boy conversations

graduation

men, I just can't believe she's gone. I've been so dazed and contemplating life all day and I don't know...

It's all about making the most of it while we are here. Appreciating each other. Throwing out the petty stuff and just living...

The sweetest lady in the world is gone and life is still going on

I just don't get it...
