Thanks everyone. I'm still numb, for some reason it's not as bad as it was with Brian though I'm sure had I been there it would be different.
Sandy started getting really sick just about a year ago--it started as some rare, weird blood disease (don't remember the name--had some long name & some initials). They were adding plasma to her blood every day. That started to get better then changed into another condition--her blood was clotting too much or something--and then her kidneys failed. I think everything else stabilized and she was going to have a transplant this month or next. She was in the hospital for something less serious, then got a staph infection, then that was it. I don't know much details.
She was WAY too young. She was my first friend at my old school, the first one to be nice to the new kid. We'd go for a little while without talking here and there but overall stayed in touch. Now I feel like a jackass, I haven't talked to her since before Christmas--and now it's too late.
Hang in there Sharla. I know it's tough. I lost my best friend to a brain aneurism a few years ago. One week he is fine, the next week...he is gone. "Try" to keep your head up.
Sharla: As one that has been there (frequent losses) don't give up believing in people like I did. As ~d~ said, there in nothing you could have done except be a true and eternal friend.
The loss of someone as young as Sandy and Brian hurt at the deepest of levels because as my Grandmother said at the funeral for the last of her five children that preceeded her in death ... No one should have to bury a child.
