I'm sorry about your friend. I recently found out that a very close friend of mine only has between 2-5 months to live.

I am sorry about your friend as well. I can't imagine the fear and sadness she must have felt when she got that news from the doctor, and yet she keeps on going, and fighting for her life. How inspiring!

Wow, you are completely right. I know lately I have been doing a lot of worrying over the small stuff, but what I should have been doing was rejoicing because I get to celebrate another birthday, I have the opportunity for an education, I have friends and family who love me. I should stop worrying so much about the little stuff.

I hate that sometimes it takes something so scary and difficult to give us new perspective, and I wish that no one had to hear the news that they only have a certain amount of time to live. I think, however, that if your friend doesn't get her miracle at least she will spend her last moments knowing how much she was loved, and hopefully how she affected the world, and even people in it she didn't even know.
