I need your help
My great-aunt. After more than 5 years of chemo, radiation, a double mastectomy, we find out the cancer has spread all through her body. There's nothing they can do. They'll do another round of chemo just in the hope.... but they really don't think it'll help.

I'd love to tell you what she is like... how vibrant and open-hearted she is. But if I do, I'll start crying again. Fuck, she's only a few years older than me, even though she is my great-aunt. She hasn't lived her life, yet.

So any prayers, good vibes, whatever you can send her way.... please do.

Khash.

1. But of course.
Keep us informed of her progress.

And a quick one for your fortitude as well - to help you support her now.

17. It's always hard to loose someone.....
Something I did with my mom was to have her talk to me about her life....

I taped it....

Played it a few times after she was gone....

Then, I lost it somehow....
