I hate being an optimist sometimes. I hate it when you are praying for a miracle, and everyone else is realistic.
I have a friend who's had cancer for the past few years. She's been fighting it like a champ, and has been an inspiration for all. A couple of weeks ago she had surgry to remove like, 75% of her liver, and that went well and good. However, right before she was released, something went wrong and she had to go in for emergency surgery. So now, more or less, her parents have decided to take her off of most of the meds, so that she can die natrually.
Here's the thing...I'm pretty sure that she doesn't want to die. She's responsive to yes questions, and is still trying to joke around, even when she can't talk. I think that they upped her pain meds so she wouldn't be as responsive.
And what pisses me off...Everyone is counting her off as dead, and is saying "We're upset about our friend's upcoming death!"
BUT SHE'S NOT DEAD YET!! God might want another Angel, but He might also want her still here, sharing her miracle story!!
I REFUSE to count her off as dead, until her heart stops beating.
It just upsets me that they are countingher off as dead, when she's obviosuly still alive. The practical side of me tells me she's going to die soon,but we'll deal with that when it actually happens.
