Description Real friendship is very rare, the reason why it is so precious. I am gifted to have had such a friend.

My best friend ever - in real life - has passed away from an abhorrent cancer in less than four weeks. I was in shock when I learned about her cancer. I am once again in shock because of her death.

We met at 11 years old at a boarding school and we became friends the first day of our arrival. And this friendship has last until now. We went through the adolescence together and discovered the world, the real life. We each got married almost at the same time and fortunately, her husband has also became a friend to me. They were my second family.
We have laughed a lot through this time, we have taken a whole wek of vacation each year, escaping from our husbands and children, etc. We never have had an argument or whatever, maybe because we met so young and learned to respect and appreciate each other even though we were quite different.
My friend was so very thoughtful and heartfelt. She was the most important person in my life, after my son. We were like twins. More important than each of my six siblings.  She did not deserve such a terrible end.
I am numb for now. I just lost a big part of my life. Death is dreadful!  

         Farewell!


Nothing Gold Can Stay

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

by Robert Frost

My dear I had never commented here... this is too special for words... you've said it all so perfectly.
I am more than sorry, and I don't have a word for that... but you have already said it all-
The thing about being blessed to have met someone this special, is we get to "choose our family"
and this I completely can relate to. I have no idea if time heals. People used to tell me that it does...
but all I know is that time just changes things...
I wish I had been more THERE for you... but once again I was freshly dealing with another new diagnosis.
UGH!

I love you always, no matter what.
