While I think this is a good LPT, I also believe that there are some things one may not realize until another’s passing and the reflection that comes with the grief.

When someone dies unexpectedly especially a student you always hear the "he/she was the happiest, friendliest, best this or that etc." person you ever knew. I wonder if any of that was ever said about them whilst they were alive, or that person looking down from whatever is thinking WTF??????

"And instead of saying all of your goodbyes. Let them know you realize that life goes fast. It's hard to make the good things last. You realize the sun doesn't go down. It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round"
