an old friend of mine died last week. i volunteered with her a few years back for the environmental youth corps. our whole volunteer group grew pretty close that summer, only to lose touch right when school started up again. i saw her around ubc often and even shared a class with her last semester, only to lose touch with her over the summer.

i’m horrible with keeping in touch; as much as i don’t want to, i let people slip away. i keep thinking there will be time to rekindle past friendships and to bump into old acquaintances. i lost an old friend last week and i wish i had taken the time to know her better.

goodbye, vicki.
