On life's journey you meet people who change and alter who you are. You remember these people because you remember how you feel from what they have said or done. Sometimes these people are significant pieces of your life but you don't know until something monumental happens...
In college I had a boyfriend name Joel. He was different from the men I had dated in the past and those after Joel and I had broken up. He was still one of the sweetest boyfriends I had ever dated. He had done many things to keep me happy, even at his expense. If we hadn't broken up I would expect that we would have had a solid life together, but we didn't. We grew apart and I barely heard anything from him until yesterday. In the morning I saw a picture of him on Facebook and then the information about his death flooded my news feed. He had passed away from a car accident that wasn't his fault.
I understand that as humans we are fragile and the life we live can be so short and insignificant to the billions of people around us. However, no life is left completely unaccountable to another. Joel did not stay in my life very long but he has reminded me that we all have a purpose for being here... And that is significant.
Rest in Peace Joel
