Death Comes Quickly

This morning a kid was reported missing since 3 am Saturday morning. No one heard from him after he left a frat party on campus. All day today police were searching for him, not knowing if he was kidnapped or killed. I saw the helicopters flying low over tree covered areas on the Northwest side of campus. Early this evening they found him, dead in a stairwell on campus. The police suspect no foul play; simply alcohol poisoning.

What a way to go! Falling down stairs or collapsing in a stairwell on a cool clear September night. So fast, so young, just 18. It really brings you back down to Terra firma. I don't have real problems like that.

Still something about this situation erks me. I don't know how to describe it, but I have a troubling sense of foreboding...

Anyway, RIP Joe Dado. You and your family are in our prayers.

I want to say something but I forget what it is. So I guess I'll have to get back to you.
