Good morning, GROWING UP QUICKLY Several weeks ago, I related a story of a classmate who developed lupus in our Sophomore year of high school, resulting in his untimely death. The impact it had on me was profound. To this day, I’ll always remember Edd, frozen in time at 16 years of age. People say that those who die young are frozen in time. But it is not only Edd who lives as 16 years old in my mind’s eye. There are others, including myself as 16 year-old, one who encountered death for the first time, scarred, scared and forever shaken, who remains vaguely familiar to me after all these years.
