Well I was going to try and come up with something witty (which in itself is kind of funny) but working Saturday evening, most of Sunday and twelve hours today has got me discombobulated. I did get to go by and see eden since my professor bagged out on class Saturday morning. I have been wanting to see if she would be interested in tattoo idea I had. If you get a chance check out her paintings in her picture section, very talented girl. I'm sure you would make her day if you let her know that.

Mostly i am very sad today. A very dear friend of mine had gone in for a hysterectomy last week. I had just got done talking to her on Friday when she got a call from the doctors office asking her to come in they wanted to check out her stitches. I thought that was really wierd and feared the worst, then I thought I was just being silly for feeling that way so all weekend I was out of sorts. Well today my worst fears for her were realized she has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. You just don't know how utterly hopeless you feel when a close friend opens up a conversation with I don't want to die and bursts into tears. It absolutely broke my heart.

I had another close friend who was diagnosed with skin cancer a few years ago. He died one year from the day he was diagnosed. Family and friends took turns carring him to the National Institute of Health for treatments. Eventually nothing helped and he sucumed to the disease while hospiced in his home with family and friends around him.

We get so caught up in the day to day and forget how mortal we really are. Please please take time to enjoy life and let those you care about know how much you love them. We just don't know how long this life may last.
