So this morning at around 4 am, one of the strongest people you could have ever seen died.
Her name was Theresa. She had a rare form of bone cancer. She was diagnosed 2 years ago and it started in her leg. Within that time, the cancer just spread dramatically. You could see her in school with her chemo in a bag.
I met her cause it was about the 3rd week of school and it was Freshman-Senior week. She was my senior. She made me wear wacky outfits that week, including 3 inch cheetah high heels.
That was the only time I talked to her, but I would see her in the halls a lot. Sometimes she was in a wheelchair, having a friend push her and carry some of her books. Either way, she was always smiling.
Anyone could tell you that she was the most beautiful person you had ever seen. She wore a bandana to cover of her lack of hair, but she was still drop dead gorgeous.
She was the oldest of 8. Her brother Daniel is in my grade and her sister Francis a year above me. Both of the are just like Theresa, strong and always smiling. Both of them knew how badly their sister was doing, and they still smiled and laughed through it all.
Today at school, we had an assembly. It was for Theresa. The whole school, minus those taking AP exams, were there. Everyone cried. Theresa’s friends got up and told some happy and sad stories about her. Even those who barely knew her got up and spoke, including me.
It was a sad day. Just looking at her Facebook wall is bringing me to tears. So many people looked up to her, including myself.
There is so much more I could say, but my thoughts are too scrambled and there is nothing that could make this do her justice fully.
All my prayers go out to her family and loved one, cause now they are the only ones suffering due to this lost.
However, she is in a better place now. She is no longer suffering from her cancer and now she is in God’s loving arms in the Heaven.
