nothing so sad as a dying ember...

[gnutmeg]

I came home and was going to post a random post full of fun thoughts and odd stories and then I saw something on my flist that stopped me cold, sending me to the LJ of someone that, although I didn't know her well, I did respect her and have some good times with her. This silence is very sad. I was never super close with her or anything, and in some ways, I really wish I'd kept in touch with her more.



Memories of her will be cherished.


Please, if you're religious in any way, pray for her family.

I just finished reading it...and I don't know what to say... It's just so sad and horrible.

I have this subconscious guilt in my mind for those who die from cancer. I am a cancer surviver myself and I know how it is to have people fear for your life everyday and to be in pain. I was really young when I had it; however, I still live with the long-term consequences that remind me of my pain that I shared with others unwillingly.

It really is a shame to lose so many people by this vulgar disease. It has claimed the lives of many...

I'm sorry, I must stop now because I am starting to cry...

I know too many who have been stolen by this disease.
