There really aren't words....

I just don't understand why life is so unfair. I found out yesterday that a friend of mine passed away on Thanksgiving. She was 16 and developed cancer a little over a year ago. She had her whole life ahead of her, but it was stolen. She never experienced a prom, graduation, wedding, or being a mother....I don't even know if she ever experienced love or a first kiss. These are all the things most little girls day-dream about, but her time ran out before she was old enough to really live her life. She was such a sweet, wonderful, fun girl. I used to visit her when she was sick and we would go to a movie on a good day, or play Guitar Hero (she was so much better than me!). She had told me that her cancer was in remission, and that's the last I heard. I had no idea that it had come back and spread to most of her major organs. I hadn't been to visit her since Hannah's birth, and I truly regret that. She was so excited about me having a baby girl, and she never got to meet her. She was a wonderful person, and she will be missed. Rest in peace dear, sweet Lindsey.

  2. How terrible. That just breaks my heart, poor girl.. I know everyone always says this, but at least she's not in pain anymore. But it would definitely be nicer if she was simply cancer-free and alive. I guess she is, depending on how you look at it.

    I hope you get to feeling better.
