missing MB

There's no easy way to say it, I lost a good friend. Mary Beth Farmer was my freshmen at fish camp, and out of all my fish, she and I kept in touch the best. It wasn't often, but I always enjoyed talking to her on the phone and getting updates. We had no good mutual friends, so there was never any talk of anyone else, and we could be open and honest, and just talk about anything. The first time we went for a walk, we went to the Bonfire Memorial. I never could have imagined that she would leave this world too soon like those other Ags.

Mary Beth died in a car accident in May. I did not find out until August. It was a devastation I could not understand. Because we only talked every few months, it wasn't strange that we hadn't talked in a while; and there were no mutual friends to tell me when it happened. I am finally to a point that I can post about it. She was an amazing human being, and I wish I could love people the way she did. Mary Beth had graduated from A&M just a week earlier, and she was planning on going into a PHD program back in College Station. If I had told her at fish camp that she was going to stay past her 4 years, she'd say I was crazy. She really didn't care for Aggie life at first, but it was so fun to see her get involved with things.

I will always miss her, but that's just my selfish view of the whole situation. The greater tragedy is that more of the world will never meet her. This post is to introduce you to Mary Beth Farmer, and remind you that there is more to this world than the trivial things that consume our lives. Her life is an inspiration to mine, and I hope it is to yours. Missing the funeral service has been hard. I didn't realized how important it is to have closure with things like that. I look forward to saying goodbye when I visit College Station, but for now, this is the best way I can say farewell, and remember my friend that I miss so dearly.

Thank you for sharing your life with me, I will always remember you MB.
