Life is short, part 2

Spend time with the people who mean the most to you. I used to visit my best friend from high school just before Christmas every year, even though she lived clear across the country, and I’m so glad we had those visits. She died three years ago today of multiple myeloma, which is a cancer of the plasma cells. It took about two years from the diagnosis, brought on by sudden kidney failure. That’s about all I can bear to say.
