Yesterday, BF and I were happily on our way to a diner for lunch and then to the adjoined bowling alley, when we received extremely sad news.
Moments before, I was filling BF in on our lovely neighbor's unfortunate medical history and the breast cancer she overcame five years ago this week. That prompted BF to think of a friend also battling breast cancer. Not ten minutes later, BF's best homie called with the news that our friend recently underwent a double mastectomy...but the cancer had quickly spread and fluid had flooded her brain. She was recently declared brain dead and relying solely on a ventilator for life. Parents are pulling the plug this weekend.
Sandy's only 36. A wonderful, sweet, vibrant young woman. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her, her family, and friends. We will truly miss her.
