A friend of mine died yesterday morning. I just found out an hour ago while checking Facebook. She was diagnosed with breast cancer four years ago at the age of 37.
I really don't know for certain if death has stepped into my life more frequently than the typical American 39-year-old, but it sure seems like it. I know that it is a much more familiar acquaintance of mine than it is of my classmates. And I am certain that I will rub shoulders with death much more frequently as I move through my medical training and start my new career.
For Jason, Floyd, Johnny, Nell, Janice, John, Sara, Brianna, Georgia, Marissa, and Annika: thank you.
PMC I'm very sorry for your loss. I know what it's like to lose a close friend to breast cancer. It is unfortunate that at this juncture we are still losing young women to this beast. I pray that God will heal every wound.
