Gone Too Young

by Brittany Ann

I don't know exactly what to say. But I'll begin here…

I am 17-years-old, and a week ago, a classmate passed away. She was driving home after school and got in a car accident. She died an hour later in the hospital.

Our entire junior class is heartbroken. Not a single one of us didn't cry at her wake and funeral.

Everyone keeps asking the same question: Why did God pick her? Why did she have to die? We'll never know. All I know is God needed an angel to watch over us, and she was the chosen one. She was always smiling, always happy. A wild and special girl. I'm having trouble sleeping now, because I keep thinking about her and how it could have been me. Out of everyone, why was it her?

Well, I had to tell someone about this. Thank you for listening.

And please pray for Sarah and her family.
