My cousin..
Last Thursday morning my cousin Thersea passed away. She was only 37. she had two teenage boys (the oldest of which was graduating in June was LPHS )and husband. Only a couple people know about this, but my cousin had cervical cancer. She was diangosed in October and has only gone up and down since. Some days she would act as if she never went threw cemo and other days she was out of it. As with any death my family is taking this hard. She was so young and still had so much to live for. It goes to show that getting "checked" every year may make a difference. The other reason why my family is taking this hard is because my cousin lisa had it in the earlier stages while I was in high school and luckily enough was able to be treated for it befor it got too worse. I went to the hospital on Tuesday last week because my dad said she did have much time. As soon as I saw my cousin Lori i started crying and couldn't go into the room. It's too hard to see someone you love going through that much pain, but trying to hold on for every minute. Finally after about 2 hours of sitting in the waiting room my dad wanted me and my little brother to go in and see her. I couldn't take it when I walked in the room. neither could my brother. My dad came and hugged me and hugged me the tightest i think he ever has and just started crying saying" she was too young Steph, too young" That got me crying even wrose. Right now should be time for clebration because Lori is graduating from Medical school at UofM Ann Arbor next week and it's hard to clebrate knowing that all of this has just happen.
I know she is in a better place and that she is no more pain. I know that she finally able to see her mom again who hasn't been with us since '99. It's hard knowing that she isn't hear anymore.
If anybody ever wonders why I don't have sex...there's your answer.
