I stumbled across her livejournal on a seemingly innocuous mission to locate a "bellevue blonde" poster. I started reading and within minutes had to know what happened. Someone already said it for me, that the fact that two years later people like myself are stumbling across her livejournal and commenting is a testament to how people live on, even after having leaving the earthly binds of life. My father is a retired oncologist in the Seattle area, and it was his youngest patients that always brought home the severity of the disease for me. I also lost a good friend of mine to colon cancer a year ago, and she was both female and 22, the absolute lowest percentage of colon cancer victims. I just hope everyone out there takes care of their bodies and realizes that whatever we can do within our control to keep ourselves healthy is important because there are so many factors that are entirely out of our ability to control.
