April was a friend of mine through my years at Carnegie Mellon. We started off in the same freshman dorm together and became roommates through our sophomore and junior years. Both stubborn and fun-loving, we cavorted across campus together, supported each other through good and bad relationships, and ultimately pushed each others boundaries until we figured out where to draw the line that separated us. Our clashes were memorable and inevitable, but our friendship deep. Her funeral is Thursday morning. And I feel I've reached a resolution about her death that excuses my absence from the service beyond my newborn son's young immune system... if there was a time to reflect on the circle of life, and if there's a time to appreciate what we have and hold dearest, and if there will be a time to live each moment to it's fullest, that time is now. Thank you, April.
