Today is my high school friend's birthday. Sadly, he died of meningitis 3 years ago. He and another classmate were my closest friends in my senior year. He was openly gay, and shared with us his story, how he was sexually abused when he was younger. I was a new Christian then, and as far as I remember, that season of my life, I was pre-occupied with debating my teachers about why the Sabbath day wasn't strictly on a Saturday (Seventh Day Adventist high school). Stupid. Adam and I were able to contact each other after graduating from college but weren't able to catch up because of our busy schedules. Time flew fast and it was our other friend who informed me of his sudden death at the age of 24. Life is so short. So many people in need of a Saviour
