I'm supposed to be drawing a chair for a make up assignment for ART 131, but honestly I'm just sitting here (in the chair I was going to draw) feeling rather... blank.

Mom just told me that Moria, a wonderful, amazing woman from our bead group who I talked to almost every time she was there about anime and music and everything else... is in the hospital and not doing well. She's been fighting cancer for a long time now, and even relapsed shortly after I met her, but she returned during the summer looking and feeling much better. We even talked about the possibility of her and her family coming to Kumoricon next year because she really wanted to see and experience all the things I told her about.

I haven't been to bead group in months because of school. My schedule had me in class on Tuesdays during the time. As such I haven't seen Moria since September.

According to mom and the email she received, there's a chance she might not come back from it this time. I can't visit until Friday if I can even work up the courage to do so (I hate, hate, HATE hospitals and I feel sick even thinking about being in one), since I have school and all.

If I wasn't so behind I'd skip today just... because. But I'm gonna go and hopefully won't feel like I'm gonna cry at any second.

I give you many virtual hugs. I'm so sorry that your friend is battling cancer. Remembering the good times you spent with her, I'm sure that she would like you to visit her but I'm also sure that she would like you to remember her as she was and not the pain she's suffering from.

I know the feeling, Hon. I had a childhood friend that I had recently reconnected online with, Wendy. I was hoping to get to see her this year when we went down to Klamath for our summer visit, but I was just a little too late, she died from stomach cancer just about a week before we left for our trip.

Then again, my grandpa has been told by Dr's for years that he wouldn't last much longer with all of his cancer flare-ups, but he's still alive and kicking.

I hope you get a chance to see your friend, and I hope she gets to do enough in this life to feel like it was a good one, before she moves on. *hugs*
