3 years ago Friday, I lost a very special friend and coworker who had fought a brave fight against colon cancer for about years. She always was so positive thru out her battle even though she had been told more than once that she only had months to live but outlived those predictions by years. She always had a smile every day that I saw her. I had sent her daughter a message Friday telling her I was thinking of her and she sent me a message back that she was thinking of me often and that she pictures her mom sitting by me during my treatments with her sewing basket talking to me. The thing is that when I got my chemo the week before they had sat me in a chair next to a wall that had a quilt on it with a square that had my friends name on it. So I guess she is sitting by me. I hope I can only fight this disease with as much grace and determination as she did. Just thought some of you would appreciate this story.
