One Sad Story

I picked up a letter from the kitchen floor today mailed on 29 Dec 2007 and still unopened, why was it not yet opened as it was from Bob Wrathall I have no idea.

Anyway I opened it and as it was in such small type I could barely read it. When I was able to finish the letter I called Diana as I was crying. Yes me crying, and why – it was because Janice has died on 3 Dec. 2007.

Apparently Janice found the the head of her femur had been destroyed by a rare cancer resulting in an emergency hip replacement but the cancer was already metastatic and through the year of 2007 she dealt with chemotherapy and palliative radiation. Apparently Janice had her whole family around her at the moment she took her last breathe, something I would not want any of my family to have to deal with.

I cried as I don’t understand why such good people as Janice Wrathall and Zoë Christenson have passed on and people who do not contribute much of anything such as myself are still here. I guess there is a lot I need to learn.
