R.I.P. Paul Walker

When I first read that actor Paul Walker had passed away, I immediately thought that it was a hoax. Some people seem to think that spreading death rumors is hilarious, so I did not believe it. Instead, I went to five web sources to check if it was true, all the while thinking that certain Internet users should find something constructive to do with their time. 

Sadly, it turned out to be very real. In a twist made up of pure cruel irony, Mr. Walker's life was taken in a car crash that also claimed the life of the driver, his friend. Two young lives, gone in an instant.

I cannot fathom what happened. This man was in his prime. He was only 40 years old. He was a father. He had given us hours of entertainment and was on his way to doing more good work, both on the silver screen and for the numerous charities that he had been involved with. It feels like we saw Fast 6 just recently and were counting down the months until the crew's next adventure. It feels strange knowing that someone can simply be gone, but it is the horrible reality of the fragile human existence. This tragedy is truly senseless, reminding us to cherish our loved ones and to cherish every moment on this Earth.

My thoughts are with Mr. Walker's family and friends. Sending love and light.
