I remember Ian...From Paris
2nd June 2007 was one of the saddest days of my life...I lost a friend. It was the first time I've ever lost a friend, and it was hard for me. I have not written anything here for quite a while, but trust me when I say..everyday I remember Ian.
I recall his zest for life, and his strong positive fighting spirit. In his remembrance, I tell myself to embrace each day and to live life happily, meaningfully and lovingly.
Cancer has claimed him physically but his spirit was still intact, and his livejournal entries are a testament to that. I hope friends reading this will help to introduce Ian's livejournal entries to relatives, loved ones, friends and acquaintances who are doing their battle with cancer whether as a patient or as a caregiver.
I hope many will find renewed strength in Ian's words. My father is now undergoing final stage of cancer which had spread from his kidney to his lungs and now brain. In a few days, he will be transferred to a hospice...with it is deep sadness I am writing this, because it brings back those last days with Ian.
Life is short, the only thing constant is change. So live kindly, gently and wholeheartedly...and put oneself in others'shoes once in a while for empathy.
I love you Ian...remember you always...
Your friend,
Paris
