So, I have just come back from holiday. One of my best friends from college/university was just diagnosed with secondary brain cancer. The most amazing woman, creative, loving, kind, and the most compassionate person ever. She has less than a year. I feel sick that Alice has dragged shit on for 2 years. My friend has so much less time and her plans - and ACTION - for that time has been astounding - while I was there she did a 2 day one-on-one road trip with me to let me know how much she valued me as a friend (with her husband and child's blessing). She has been creating time over the year for people special to her and her husband and also for her daughter. The energy it takes to that astounds me. The planning, when you have just come out of chemo and know it is only 'token maintenance'. Fuck me. Alice is a truly bad person - she had abundance and chose scorched earth, she had a loving family and chose to weaponise them without any acknowledgement of how awfully she has behaved, with her children and her father.
