Today my grad classes were rather somber. One of my professors announced that a classmate of ours had passed away last night due to liver failure. She was 23 years old. This young lady had been ill for quite some time, but never told anyone of the suffering she was going through. People who'd worked with her in group projects had held negative opinions of her, because she often would not show up for group meetings...and did not call to let her group mates know she wasn't coming. But no one ever recalls seeing her without a smile on her face, and hearing something wonderful come out of her mouth. You just never know the suffering people are enduring, and just how big of an impact the smallest words of kindness or scorn can have.
