I don't get it.
She was a friend of DoodleBug's. They were to co-captain the college Ultimate Frisbee team in the fall. She was a lovely young girl. A college student. A daughter. A sister. A friend...
I don't get it.
What is it that darkens such a young soul to the point that she thinks there is no way out? How had she possibly lived long enough to reach such a dark place? What was she looking for? What was missing? What was she thinking? How did it come to such finality?
I don't get it.
If she had been my age or older, I would be sitting here thinking how foolish and selfish she was. But she was a kid. And I want to know why. And I want to know how it came to this. And I am angry. Not at her but that our young people have the ability to get to this point. They should not have the first clue about something this dark.
And now, on Monday, we will be celebrating the 4th at the funeral of a 20 year old girl who could not see her way out.
The following pictures are just a few of the college Ultimate team---the first one includes the mens team.
You'd never be able to pick that precious child out of the group--her smile is was just as big as everyone else's.
