SAD, SAD Day today. I just received a call that my 21 year old niece passed away after a long struggle with cancer. She was diagnosed with Wagners Sercoma when she was 13 years old and has since gone through numerous surgeries and cheemo as it spread from one area to another. Every time, they said they got it, it would have spread to another area! it really made me reflect on what is important and how " being fat " is such a small thing compared to what she went through. So do what you can, while you can for yourself and others ...don't give up. Be gratefull for the chance you have to get healthy and LIVE!! and give those you love a big hug every chance you can.

Hi Barb

Sorry to hear about your niece. That is so young and like you said suddenly our problems are very small in comparison.

Take care

So sorry for your loss Barb.  It's true that sometimes we have to look at what others struggle with to see that weight isn't the worst thing.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.

So sorry to hear Barb.  My condolences to you and your family.  Far too young and so unfair. It's times like this that we must reflect on our own lives and realize how blessed we are.   Life is so precious.

Yes truly a sad, sad day. At 21 the future should be her's to discover. After her years of suffering, find peace in the knowledge that she now rests with Jesus, free of pain or troubles. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
