6 months ago... i started two discussions about visiting a former friend with cancer... an most of those who responded encouraged me do visit her and forget the not so good past that happened between us... I did just that... but when i arrived at her house with some friends... she stayed insied her room... and her mother was the one who entertained us... Now, after 6 months... i got a text saying that she just passed away... i am quite sad about what happened to her... she is only 29 years old... very young... intelligent and talented... eventhough we haven't spoken for years... i feel that it is too early for her to leave this world... but then who am i to question the plans of God... She is not a bad person... and i am sure she will be happy with our Creator... and i will always remember all the good thing about her... and all the fun we had... http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1380449.aspx http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1362671.aspx

Lets pray she has a great time with our creator. I am sad she passed on and could not live a long life. I remember the discussion. I am sorry she did not see you. One of these days you will see her again and mend fences.

Please accept my condolences. It is so hard to see anyone suffer, let alone someone so young. The only comfort for her family must be that she is no longer in pain, and in a place far above our wildest dreams. Nothing can hurt her now, and I pray you and her family and other friends are comforted by this knowledge.

I went to the wake yesterday... and i was overwhelmed to see that there are so many people who came to pay their respect to her... former and current students, co workers, friends, and family... and all were comforted by the fact that she is in a much nicer world now... thanks for the response...

That is what i keep saying to myself... cancer is a very painful way to die... and know that she is not longer in pain is a sort of consolation to all those who love her... and those who saw how she suffered... thanks for the response...

Hello aseretdd, I m sorry to hear that. I remember the discussion clearly. It is lucky that you decided to visit her at the end though only her mother entertained all of you that time. Lets forget the bad past. Hope she will be happy there and you, will move on with your life.

I am sure that she is happy now... i did not get the chance to visit her at the hospital... but i am glad i did not... since her face got deformed... i want to remember her in all her glory... so i just called my other friend who was there... and asked her to place the cell phone to her ear... and i talked to her that way for three minutes... i am glad i did... thanks for the response...

Sorry to hear that your friend has passed. At least you went to see here that is what counts the most. I know that you feel sad some but just think of it like this she is in a better place. I know she was glad that you and other came to see her. Just know you had her in your thoughts and you went to see her. Have a nice one.

I am also glad that i went to see her... even if she did not go out of the room... i think she was quite shy because the cancer deformed her face... and i know her as very conscious about how she looks... yes, she is in a better place now... i am sure of it... thanks for the response...

I sorry to hear that.It's so sad.Life is just too fragile.So let's just live life to the fullest when we are alive. I like this sentence,"Don’t wait for anybody else pain, to ask for apologies." So let's forget all those unpleasantness and have a new start.
