Hi guys, I was planning to spend my sunday morning griping about my week. Until I read the papers. Lifestyle section, about this girl from RJC. I'm sure you all have read it. If not, go now....
It was extremely moving for me. I almost teared up badly. I really admire the strength in that girl. She knows the worst possibility is coming and yet she remains a fighter and encourages her friends to remember her as one. If the same applied to me, I don't think I could hold up as well as her.
I've always wondered why this kind of things happen to the nice people of the world while the scum live on.... She's young too. 19 if I recall. That's like 5 years my junior and she's accomplished so much more than I ever have.
As I sit here and type, my mind is filled with swirling thoughts, such is it's effect on me that I can barely write how I feel.
The doc gave her a time period. Can you imagine that? God tells you that you never know when your going to go and here some mortal is telling you that you don't have much time left?!?
The doc said a few weeks to 3 mths. I have always rejoiced about these remaining 3 months before I finally ORD and leave army, and to me these 3 mths are eternally long, but to this girl, these same 3 mths are but a mere blip in the fabric of time. It's heart rending to just imagine the differences..
I pray for her recovery.
God bless, Joan...
