my moms close friend died from brain cancer last night. i didnt know her well, but she was really sweet. every time she was here shed be saying how neat something chany or i had done or was doing was, like learning guitar or being on the wrestling team. and when my mom was carless for some reason and was having a really hard time, she told chandra and i that if we ever needed a ride or anything else we could call her. when the doctors told her she had 6 months to live, she beleived them and gave up. my dad said she stopped eating, but my mom told me that last time she saw her she was groggy from the medicine she was taking and kind of down, but my mom was trying to ecourage her not to give up, and was recomending medicines, and her friend got interested and asked if she could try the one my dad is taking. and 2 days later she died. she had just become interested in living again. i dont understand why it happened to her. she was a good and kind person. why did she have to get up hope just to have her life ripped from her? its not fair. and i'll have none of that "lifes not fair" shit. she was such a good person: her and my mom would go to retirement homes and sing for elderly people to make their lives a little better. and then theres my mom. shes fought so hard for all kinds of social justice issues and equal rights and shes changed peoples lives, she didnt deserve cancer. neither did my dad- hes the most wonderfull dad you could hope for, and he also does everything he can to make the world a better place. same with teresa and she got MS. why do these things happen to good people? i just dont get it.
