Death

Mourning Friend’s Passing On FaceBook

A few days ago, I found out that a classmate from high school had died. He fell or jumped from a building, the details are still unknown. I hadn’t spoken to him since high school, but he was my friend on Facebook and we exchanged a cursory message upon first becoming friends.

When I visited his Facebook page, after hearing the news, I noticed lots of posts from his friends, who addressed him in the present tense, saying things like, “I’m so sorry!” He didn’t break some bones, he died!

It’s like he was still alive in his FB page, reading the posts from the other side.
