Had a surreal moment on Facebook. I was reminded of a friendship I had with someone with the On This Day feature. This girl was someone I dated very briefly in college. We really had nothing in common, so we drifted apart. Four years ago, she sent me a friend request. The intervening years didn't do anything to give us anything in common, so it was a distant friendship. She mostly played Farmville, and I sometimes read status updates related to that.
So I received this memory to look back on, and I realize I hadn't heard from her in a while. I wondered if she still even did Facebook, so I looked on her wall to see if anything was posted recently. I got past a few birthday posts on her wall but noticed that they were rather somber. It turns out she died of a blood clot in her lung 2 years ago.
I feel kind of bad because we interacted very little. We only reconnected due to a memory of a college romp. So that was a sobering moment for me yesterday.
