A few days ago, a high school friend of mine passed away from a heroin overdose. I mean, a preventable death.. yes.. but a brutal one, at that. No one wishes that on someone. I mean, in an ideal world Jeff VanVonderen would come and saved the day.

But I started thinking. People only say really nice things about you when you pass away. Unfortunately, not many of us are around to hear the really fortunate praises of goodhearted individuals.

Imagine, if someone's Facebook status was optimistically praising a good friend for just.. being a good friend.

It gets you thinking. It gets me wondering. And, ultimately, it makes me kind of sad.
