Hey gorgeous SG people, I'm sorry I've been away for this couple of weeks.
A dear friend of mine passed away last monday, she had been battling cancer for about four years and in the end it won. As you can imagine I was shocked and sad and angry, and all the week was spent in this weird state, just thinking how life can be so unfair. She was diagnosed when she was 19, and because of that I know she missed a lot of things, and just thinking about it makes me super angry.
We met back in 2006 or 2005, and we became good friends, she was from Denmark and we met online. The thing is, we became close because we used to trust eachother and just say what was on our minds, and she used to trust me about her not being that sure about her body image, about the sort of bullying she got because of her weight and such. She was like the younger sister I always wanted.
She was super brave, the cancer came back about a year ago. She told me that the doctors gave her six months, the chemo was not working according to plan. When she told me this I obviously froze and started crying because it was not fair, she was so young. All I told her was that I loved her a lot, that she was amazing and that I was so happy for getting to know her, that she was one of the bravest people I had ever had the pleasure to meet.
And I was right, she was the bravest, because she had came to terms with it and because she lived 6 months more that what the doctors told her. She traveled with her mom, she got married, she was surrounded by people that loved her, and the most important thing was that she never forgot that.
