Sad Day

My Aunt's best friend's son has died. I never met him, but I would ask about him whenever I spoke to my aunt, and I asked about him only two weeks ago. This friend of my aunt was divorsed. Also a nurse, she brought up her son in Trinidad and in Canada, worrying as all mothers do about her only child. He was very smart and was able to move from one country to the other on full scholarship. He had just graduated from Moorhouse College and she was afraid for him, because he inlisted in the Army, but was able to avoid the frontline because of a clause about single children.
He called her every week, and this week she did not hear from him as usual. She called her ex-husband and told him that she was worried that he had not called. She called him in North Carolina, to hear word from his roommate, that he had discovered him, dead.
This is so surreal!
He was just twenty-seven.

When something like this happens, you question why! It makes no sense at all.
He showed so much promise. He worked hard, he was outstanding as a student. He was focused, and wanted to get his life in order before getting serious with a girl. he was the sort of person who was just upstanding.
The whole household is in shock and grief over this situation.
I want to write more about this, but we need a moment to process this, to see what we can understand from this whole thing.
