My only consolation being she asked not to be informed how long she had left so she never knew they were her last moments, which makes me think her last moments were in happiness.
My sincere condolences Fetcher. Thats very admirable of your friend.

Thanks plankton, I never met anyone like her! She had tonsillitis or some other illness every other week (hypochondriac almost) but never once heard her complain about the cancer or let it get her down. I don't say this about many people but she was genuinely one of the strongest people I've ever met. At least she is not in pain anymore and I'm just glad to have had someone like her in my life.

Sorry to hear that. I recently lost my brother in law to cancer. Its a horrible way to go for anybody much less somebody so young. May she rest in peace.

I'm very sorry for your loss. I don't think it really matters if you're expecting it, or if it was sudden - the reality just hits you like a ton of bricks and that's perfectly okay. I'm betting not requesting a timeline of her prognosis was beneficial to her. Ignorance is bliss.

Not until 2014, I'm afraid. My school didn't flag my account for "last year status" until February, conveniently past the application deadline. It was a clerical error on their part and I was pissed. I will be getting my Masters and teaching certificate but I was forced to postpone my enrollment :mad:
The bastards, I would have made them bloody well fix it if that was me. Did they even apologise? Does this mean you get a long break between semesters then? Are you just going to work in the meantime?

Awww honey, I'm so sorry for your loss. She sounds like an angel.

Yes, I'm just going to work a bit for the next year. I had asked them about this around October, and they just told me it was all automatic and would be taken care of. Of course, I didn't know any better and I just left it alone until February. I was pissed that they never bothered to let me know that there was an issue with my account. Ugh.

Sang Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen at a Mexican karaoke bar. I put on a show and everyone shook my hand afterwards. First time in my life I felt like a rockstar.

I'm really sorry to hear that, K. I hope you're doing okay. :(

One of our programs at work crashed today, and we had to do all sorts of tedious calculations to determine pro-ration and time for payment arrangements today. I know something was amiss when I walked in and there were managers galore handing out catered Chic Fil A.

They give us food when they know something's going to piss us off.

The day they told us we couldn't have cell phones or pens on the floor anymore, they got us pizza - and not cheap pizza.
