So I just found out that a close childhood friend of mine passed away....
Over a month ago!
It's depressing, as well as aggravaiting that I haven't known for this long.
I knew she was stuggling recently, but I hadn't heard anything, so I figured she was pulling through and holding in there - like she always does.
I had been thinking of writing her a letter.
About how we use to stay at the front of her boat, and name the waves as they came at us.... seeing whose wave ended up being biger as we got launched in the air.
Or how we use to put lifejackets on during windy days and play in the huge waves, and scream at the lake.
Somehow thinking that maybe by making the lake "mad", it would produce bigger waves.
And then curling up in our beach towels on the sand, before heading to her house for lunch
(because granted knows, my grandma would never allow sand into our cottage.)
I should of written that.
I wish I had.
But there's a lot of would I of, Could I of things. *sigh*
She hhad a 5 year battle with Ewing's Sarcoma - a type of cancer.
She beat it 2 times, and the 3rd time coming back got her.
She was at St. Judes most of her highschool life - so we hadn't been close. :-/
She was a ridiculious fighter, and will always be missed.
(You give me the strength to face the world, and live everyday to my fullest - just like you did.)
Rest in Peace Lauren Ashley Hart <3
Always in my heart.
