*sigh* One of my fellow bone marrow transplantees from last summer passed away last night. Yes, she was older than me and the transplant had made her much weaker, but her personality and will were so strong and she was doing so good. And then she got a lung infection a few weeks ago (8 months post transplant, when we all think we're "safe") and just couldn't fight it off. I never met her in person, but she helped me out so much through our BMT messageboard that I'm really saddened to hear she's gone.

Just got a message from my ex-boyfriend that his mom was found dead yesterday morning. They don't know what happened to her yet. I really loved her dearly and I feel really sad about it. She was a wonderful person who worked with disabled children and would give anything she could to help people. She was so much fun to be around and always made me laugh. She did so many nice things for me, like taking me to New York with her family and other vacations, plus driving 5 hours to come to my college graduation when most of my own family didn't even want to drive for an hour to come. I have a lot of fond memories of her. I feel so sorry for him and his sister (we were very close and still communicate regularly on FB) because they were very close to her and I know they are just devestated. :\\\'(

Oh I'm really sorry, Jewlz. It's especially hard when such loving, undeserving people are taken away from us.
