I have a very very close friend... and she has been ill with cancer. She has been so upbeat and remained her wonderful cute self throughout. Even up to a couple of days before she died. She was joking on thursday with me.

She was diagnosed a fe months ago, and had treatment. It seemed to go well.... and then a couple of weeks ago she took an abrupt turn for the worse. Even then she remained upbeat.

She died yesterday afternoon. Even knowing it was on the horizon... it came as a shock, and I feel devastated. I loved her a lot... and I now feel totally bereft.

As I have mentioned to some... I do not want to post it on the main board. I did do a post about it and one person replied. Yet others post about relatively trivial matters that we all go through, and they get dozens and dozens of messages of sympathy. I'm not belittling those people, but it showed to me how I'm viewed by many people on the page. It depressed me and I took it down. Hopefully here those 'true' friends will see it, and hopefully the 'Steptfords' will leave me be.
