so much has been going on, I don't even know where to begin.
I guess just jump in.
So, a while ago I formed a team to walk in the Komen Sacramento Race for the Cure (breast cancer). I have a friend in Phoenix who was diagnosed with Stage IV about a year and a half ago, and she inspired me to form the team.
I formed it this year as I did last year, and worked on art, and at my real job, and was pretty much just content to stay busy all the time. My friend was doing well for so long, that it was easy to forget that Stage IV is really pretty bad, but we kept in touch, and I'd send her art sometimes.
About three weeks ago she had a PET scan, laid down for a nap, and when she woke up she couldn't talk anymore. The cancer cells in her brain had gone into overdrive and they gave her a couple of weeks to live. She only got one and half. Words can't describe how sad I am at her loss. She was only 37. She'd just gotten married. Her life was so great except for the cancer.
Now I'm still heading the team, and we're slated to walk this Saturday. And it's going to be hard, no question, seeing all those women who are fighting breast cancer, or seeing all those people who lost loved ones to it.
so hard.
