This is SO not about me. It's about how I feel about things that aren't about me. (part 1)

I had my favorite day of the year last weekend; A Day With The Girls, which is a girls' lunch with the three matriarchs on my mother's side and their respective daughters. It is, hands down, THE BEST day of the year, and the day is never long enough

I'm so, so sorry. Just reading this made me want to cry. I'll pray for her.

I think if I were in a situation where there really was no hope, I'd want a greeting that said goodbye. I'd rather have honest grief than false bravado. I guess you never really know for sure until you're in that situation yourself though.

*hugs*

This is a beautiful post, and I instantly feel sad because you are sad, and this girl sounds like someone who deserves to live a very long and shiny life, but instead she gets this. That's really fucked up.

I'm with you on the whole pragmatic thing, but I guess you already know that. I'd rather have a honest goodbye than fake optimism, but there are a lot of people who just don't deal that way.

This is very sad to read, it really puts things into perspective. I'm 26 as well and I'm grateful for what I got,even if I seem to complain a lot, because life's so fragile and can be changed any second. This shows just that.
I think you did well, by saying goodbye to her instead of offering her a greeting that's basically a lie.
