Nancy

Funny, I was able to choose the category for this particular blog... "Life" That's what it is, isn't it, when someone dies. Nancy was only 25 years old. She died of a horrible mistake made by medical professionals last week. I attended her funeral and watched as so many of her friends were devastated at the loss of this very sweet and kind girl. I did not know her as well as they did. I couldn't help wishing I had. She was always kind to me and made the effort to make me feel welcome. She was special in her own unique-to-this-world kind of way. We all are. If we could only realize that before someone dies and treat them as if they may be gone tomorrow. The last time I hung out with Nancy I tried to make her a plate of food at a party. She did not have much appetite. So instead I pulled a giant Ghiradelli chocolate/caramel candy bar that I had been hording for myself out of my pocket and offered it to her. Her face lit up as she snatched it out of my hand. I'm so glad I did that. That was the last time I saw her.
