I wanted to take a minute and share the blog of my old and dear friend Crystal, who has recently been diagnosed with stage IV ovarian cancer. If you're a regular reader of this blog you've seen C. on here often; a few months ago I convinced her to do a Tattoo Tuesday for me, and we've had some of the best times together since we were in our mid-teens and throughout the past 11 or so years. Believe me, our 16-year old selves were quite "adventurous," and we have some amazing stories under our belt. Crystal is one of those women who you'd describe as a firecracker. She has personality for days, and is one of the most beautiful people I know, in and out. Unfortunately she's gotten dealt a pretty shitty hand of cards as of late, and like I mentioned above, is now battling cancer in a serious way. She recently started a blog, and I'd love it if all of you headed over her way and say hello and show your support. Be sure to tell her I sent you! Positivity is a wonderful thing, and she could use it. Thank you guys so much! xo
I am so sorry that this happens to good people and the ones we love. My sister JUST called to let me know she was diagnosed with Lupus and I'm just here with a heavy heart- the least we can do is love and be there, support and help out in any way we can... this all just makes me so sad
ReplyDeleteOh my! That is horrible and so sad. :/ Thanks for sharing her blog, I'm heading over there right now. ♥

ReplyDeletethanks for sharing this, maybe as she says we all need to live like we have such a little time left.
ReplyDeleteThis is truly heartbreaking. I am sending so many happy, positive, healthy thoughts Crystal's way. Good thing she has great gal pals - like you - to keep her spirits up and her head high.

I am so sorry for your friend. I pray she will stay positive. There is so much that can be done; positive outlook is one of the most important things to have when battling any illness. I recommend that she get some good healing/meditation cd's and listen to them, it will help. Wishing her a quick recovery.
ReplyDeleteThat's so horrible, I cannot imagine. I pray that everything works out for her. So nice of you to show so much love!
ReplyDeleteyou are a great friend. and she is a beautiful woman. sending positive thoughts<3
ReplyDeletewow, that is extremely sad, but i'm keeping her in my thoughts &hoping for the best for her. =/ my friend, who has had melanoma twice since 2005 had a biopsy done a couple weeks back &they found cancer cells, however, they said her margins are clear, meaning they removed it all. cancer is such a scary thing. hang in there, you're got a lot of support. <3
ReplyDeletePretty sure i have never cried like that ever over anything on the internet. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteFrom the bit I've just read on your blog, that's one classy and ballsy lady. Heading over to have a look at her blog now.
ReplyDeleteTerrible news. Going to check out her site.
