on that note

this as moved and haunted me for years



Omayra Sánchez was a 13-year-old victim of the 1985 eruption of the Nevado del Ruiz volcano, which erupted on November 13, 1985, in Armero, Colombia causing massive lahars which killed nearly 25,000. Trapped for three days in water, concrete, and other debris before she died

Omayra was trapped up to her neck in water and the debris of her home for nearly 60 hours before she died, either of exposure, gangrene, or hypothermia. Omayra suffered through nearly 3 nights of agony before she died in a state of confusion. During this time, she sang to Germán Santamaríaand agreed to be interviewed. The teenage girl was scared, and often prayed or cried. On the third night, Omayra began hallucinating, saying that she did not want to be late for school. At some point she asked the people to leave her so they could rest.

I always find these stories in the news deeply disturbing and very saddening.

He had had cancer and seemed to have recovered.

A couple of years later it came back very quickly and he was gone in months.

This was about three years ago.

I used to see him regularly.

I can be stone walled when it comes to family/deaths/otherwise. Have never been phazed by the passing of others apart from my godfather.
