Back in middle school, I shared a class with Krysten every year, if I recall correctly. I only learned that she wasn't with us anymore at our class' highschool graduation ceremony. It isn't fair that she wasn't there with us and I wish more than anything that she could've been there too. It hit me hard. We had never been super close, but I'll never forget the way she laughed. She was so kind to me, always reassuring me after the other kids in our small class treated me unfairly. It's a cruelty that her kind, smiling face wasn't there to greet everyone at graduation, and I can't help but cry to know I'll never see her again. Thank you for being my friend, Krysten.
