Midweek 4

I decided I need to post a little about Fri.  For 26 years I have worked with her father and known the girl I'm writing about....she had a baby about 3 yrs ago and shortly after that began having gallbladder problems(not uncommon). She saw the surgeon and it was decided to remove it, while in there he noticed a swollen lymph node....looked around and found lymphoma.  She was one of the most positive persons with cancer i have known, thruout her chemo,  loss of hair, and various treatments and hospitalizations.  At almost one year post her 1st major treatment it looked like she was going to beat it and planned a cruise with her husband....it never happened as within that month it came back.  She cont to fight until late last year, when there was nothing left to try....on Thur night I got the call that she had died.  On Fri I had just gotten off the phone from talking to her dad before I posted, yesterday i spoke with her mom and dad........the funeral is Friday.  I had to go to a work related meeting last weekend.....this week I'm working, thinking about her a lot and how lucky I am to have seen my kids grow up, etc.  I've been reading for escape and trying not to overeat, but not tracking and not reading blogs that much.  I've checked on my buddy who I hope hasn't given up but can't manage much support....it will be better after Fri.
