A reflection of a concert I went to in High School. A friend of mine, whom I attended the concert with-died a few days after we graduated from high school. Sometimes, we don't feel like we should be given the opportunity to experience things that others never had the chance to do. I speak in Memory of Michael Vanderploeg-a great friend and our concert experience; Ozzy Osborne.
