I'm so sorry to hear of another person taken by cancer. I was feeling a bit low a few weeks ago when I realized it was getting close to the anniversary of Sybil's death (not to mention her birthday coming up too). It still doesn't seem real.
It's so hard to comprehend how one's body can become so sick while still so young. It still doesn't feel real to me that Sybil is gone . . . acknowledging Tiffany's death is forcing me to accept it, a very harsh reality.
I am going to celebrate Sybil's birthday next weekend (since I work on the 31st) in my own special way. It will be hard, but I know she would love for me to do that. Her birthday also signifies our "friend-iversary" of 11 years.
I know what you mean. It still seems unreal - but I know it's true. I've had it hit home again this past December when I lost a dear friend to MS. Still doesn't seem real that Elizabeth is gone too.

It is so hard to lose people. I'm so sorry to hear about T.
I've been thinking about Sybil's birthday and death date, too. I didn't realize your birthday was in the midst of all that. I do hope in spite of everything that you'll be able to have a happy birthday.
Thank you, Meg. I hope you are doing well. I left work early so I could come home and just take this all in. These next few weeks will be difficult to get through, but I will find ways to make them meaningful, and to honor Sybil as well as Tiffany.
I hope you're having a nice Monday and a great week. I am sorry I haven't stopped by your journal in so long. I hope to get back to it soon!!
That's okay, Jessica! I understand how busy you are! I am doing fairly well, actually. The newest revelation is that it looks like I'll be able to study abroad for a month in Australia this summer! So that is my biggest and best news, and I'm definitely excited about it! I've been feeling a little bit in a funk the past few days, slightly under the weather and some crazy nightmares last night, but I'm getting back on track with some healthy habits I'm trying to develop and I'm sure I'll be feeling back to normal in no time.
I also wanted to say that I think it's great that you have plans to find ways to honor Sybil and Tiffany. I think I'll soon revisit the beach I walked on the day I found out about her passing, to kind of say hi to Sybil. I know I could do that anywhere, but that beach seems most appropriate. I wish you comfort in this time, as I know this has got to be a really difficult anniversary for you. As Sybil used to write - sending you g*l*o*w*!!

Almost a year...it seems so strange. And so sad.
I love the picture. It is just - right, perfect, in some way I cannot describe. Thank you for sharing it.
