The weekend - the un-fun part

theducksOn saturday morning, we received word that one of UCC's members, Heath A. Loveday (aka HAL/Comrade Red), had died suddenly on Monday afternoon.
I didn't actually know Heath all that well, we'd played TF2 and RTCW:ET a few times, and he was on my Steam friends list, and we'd talked off and on, but he was a bit of a fixture of UCC's clubroom, and I'm sure his death will hit the regulars.
Sadly, Heath isn't the first UWA student I've known who has died. I can think of at least 4, as well as several members of academic staff. Passing of someone so young (in comparison to me, who I am told, is old), brings thoughts of regret for what they haven't and won't achieve. Nothing will change that. I remember what they have achieved and did do, and follow my dreams, remembering the saying to live each day as if it is your last, as one day you'll certainly be right.
