The Good Fight

I have talked before about my co-worker's daughter fighting pancreatic cancer. She is now looking down on us, free of pain, free of sorrow, free of her demon. Annette passed away last night at 11:00PM with her kids, boyfriend, and mom by her side. I have never known anyone as strong as Annette, never known anyone to fight as long and hard. I feel honored just to have known her. There was never a time that she didn't ask how I was doing, in the midst of all of her suffering, her pain, she asked. Always.

Here's to Annette's memory, her family, her life. May she rest in peace, looking down on us, watching us, guiding us. She'll be deeply missed.
