My friend in America is dying of breast cancer. She is 44 and has 3 beautiful children, 6, 4 and 2.
She was diagnosed 3 days after her youngest was born and it was already "treatable but not curable".
I'm gutted. I'm sitting waiting for news off her Caring Bridge site. She has maybe a couple of days left, she's mostly sleeping now.
Just wanted to tell someone.

Jesus lads its just so shit.
Sitting waiting for a fescking email for the last 3 days and you just know its going to say the worst most horrid thing.

She was just a magic magic girl.
She introduced me to MAC makeup.
So unfair.

She told me a few weeks ago that she was starting to look forward to a boogie with Elvis.
I hope she gets it.

May she have peace in passing and may her loved ones have happy memories. Another gone too young :(

So sorry for you and all involved :(

Hi Redb,

I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. Life is so tough ...
My heart goes out to her children. They are just too young to be without their Mammy.
Thinking of you x
