Not everything is funny.
Or happening to me directly.
I know people think I don't know that. But I do.
A lovely, smart, beautiful friend since high school, Samantha Ivy Blodgett, died on Saturday, December 19, 2009. She was 38 years old.
Samantha suffered with Leiomyosarcoma.
Rare cancer.
Crazy rare.
4 in 1 million people.
That is 4 in 1 million.
I know? Right?
38 is too young. By about a lifetime.
No mother should have to see her child like that.
No friend should see anyone in that state.
Frankly, no one should ever ever ever (like ever) have to go through what Samantha faced for the past 15 months.
She was brave.
She was ironic in the face of disease.
She never once wanted to be treated like a sick person.
She was strong.
She continued to gather Frequent Flier Miles (up to and including last month, so as not to interfere with her elite status)
She made it to her Forever 39 Birthday party.
She lived her whole life naturally blonde with fantastic boobs.
She is missed and she was loved. Always will be.
