I think that at least once in life everyone wishes they were someone else.  That their life would be so much better if they were someone else.  That their own life is unfair.  I’ve thought this before.  But, today, when I received some sad news from a friend about another friend, I realized that it is not just my life, but life in general that is not fair. 

            Today, I learned that a friend, who I know through my best friend Tess, received news that the cancer she has been fighting for a year is not gone, as the doctors said it would be.  This girl is one of Tess’ closest friends and her struggle has also been Tess’.  Of course how could it not be?  The struggles of the people closest to us are always our own.  Anyways, this friend is a beautiful, strong-willed, independent young woman, and the past year has been a long, painful battle, only to find out that all the fight she put into getting rid of cancer was in vein.  I believe that she still has so much fight left in her.  I think that it is going to be a tough trip, for her and her family and closest friends, like Tess, but I have no doubt that she can and will fight till the win.  And I will be praying for her every day of that fight, both for her and her family and friends.
