It's a week since she was killed. Gunned down for no apparent reason. I didn't know her but I felt like I knew her. She was the best friend of my best friend from school. The newspapers reported that she died wearing a black dress and a breast cancer pin. 38 years old, with two children. They were ambushed when they got home from a nice dinner in a restaurant. She died as her husband drove her to the hospital. It makes no sense at all.
There is death all around me. Every other day I hear that someone I know or knew has died or someone I know has lost a dear one. Is it because I am now older and know more people? More older people? Perhaps. But that does not help explain the death of 12 year old Aumkar.
