    Sad How quickly things change...(a little long)

    So things have gone from daisies to weeds. My grandmother was diagnosed last summer with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. She was treated and thought to be in remission. Then, after we found out about her cancer last summer, my roomate (who is also my absolute best friend) called me and said "How would you like to be a god-mother?" She was pregnant, but decided to keep playing softball and aborted the pregnancy.

    Well, my grandmother had to be taken to the hospital a week ago because the doctors missed the tumors all over her lungs and they've gotten really bad (one lung is inoperable). My dad just got home from going to see her and helping her get the treatment she needs, and making sure she's getting taken care of. My mom just called me and said "We'll probably have to go up there this summer as sort of a farewell tour."

    My roomate has to quit the team tomorrow because she's pregnant again. I'm not upset about the pregnancy. I'm kind of excited to be a god-mother. I feel all special and honored. I'm upset because I feel like I'm going to lose my best friend at some point because she lives 30 minutes away and doesn't know if she's going to transfer schools or what. I'm scared I'm going to lose touch with her, and I can't imagine my life without her.

    I feel like I'm going to lose two extremely important people. My grandma is the only grandparent I have left, and is one heck of a lady. My best friend is like family to me and I love her soo much.

    Sorry for being a baby but I didn't know where else to go to lean.

    So sorry to hear about your grandmother. Kind of bittersweet, huh? Preparing to say goodbye to someone while waiting to say hello to someone new...

    When I'm mourning someone, it always helps to look around and take in the big circle. It will be hard, but will go a long way towards inner peace.

    Spend as much time as possible with your grandmother. One thing that might help is to talk to her, by phone or in person, about her life and what she'd like to be remembered for and what she would want for her family in the future. Write it down and be the keeper of this information for generations to come. I wish I had gotten that from my loved ones...it would have given me some closure.

    Best of luck to you, your family and your best friend.
