She lost the battle to lung cancer. They found it last summer because it had spread to her hip and was in her bones. I guess she went quickly this morning. I knew she wasn't doing well but I didn't realise it was this bad. She kept saying she just wanted to die. I know she was in a lot of pain. My heart aches for my friend. I just can't imagine lossing your mom and having to explain to your kids. I've known my friend and her mom since we were in 7th grade. By 9th grade we used to sit around smoking and chatting about high school with her mom. Fast forward to last summer, she was my neighbor and we would have coffee and smoke together outside all the time. She would always water the plants on my front steps for me. She is one of the reasons I seriously considered quiting again and here I am. Starting my quit over on the day she passed. 😞 This is why I'm here. This is why we are all here, to choose life over cancer.
