 Posted: Thu Dec 22, 2011 6:47 pm Post subject: Got crappy news for Xmas.. |
 |
One of my old time customer just visited my store.
She wishes me a Merry Christmas, and tell me that it may be the last time I see her.
She got cancer and the doc gave her a 3 months verdict.
This young lady is a vibrant lass with loads of talents,
in the past years she shows her photographs on many gallery around NSW.
The last few years she took up teaching Arts in local high school.
She is about 10 years younger than me.
Why the good ones must go early?

gelandangan, it is not pleasant to receive bad news during the Holidays. Life isn't fair but it does move on. We can send some prayers her way.

Sorry to hear that Gelan. In a situation like this I guess all we can do is remember the talent and cherish the friendship.

That's a tough one Geland, my thought is she'll be back. I'm sending a prayer and a wish.

It is hard to say good bye to someone so young. Try to look at it as God needs her more than we do. My condolences and Godspeed to her.

On behalf of Katthy, thanks for your words guys.
She told me that she is not giving up yet.

gelandangan,
Dont right her off just yet, you cant do that until they actually bury her.
Depending on the cancer she might have 3 months, she might get longer.
Having spent 3 weeks in a Brissy oncology ward last year as a patient, you can never tell, as the old bloke I shared a room with said "Bloody doctors, told me I'D be DEAD 5 YRS ago and they still havent been f***ing right yet,
amazing bloke.
I wish your friend all the luck she'll need over the comming year.
To you and yours, merry xmas etc.

I must apoligize. I did not mean that it is the end but rather that I feel sorry that she has to go through fighting this disease. I join Vince and dhc in wishing her a swift recovery and my prayers at church this evening will be for Kathy. Please pass on to Kathy and her family, and to all of you and your families, our best wishes and a Merry Christmas from myself and my wife Michelle.

Wow she was quite the artist! Really a devoted person to her art too. She will be missed. Thanks for sharing Gelan. The wind will echo her passing in heat waves.
