Two years ago today, my best friend from high school passed away.
The doctors had a hard time diagnosing which type of cancer she had at the time, but after she died, they ruled it to be skin cancer.
When she was 17 years old, she had an abnormal mole behind one of her ears and had it removed and tested, found out it was skin cancer then. She didn’t want all of her peers to know about it so she kept it pretty quiet. I believe she had to have tests and check-ups for the 10 years following but she had been cancer-free up until I think 2007-2008.
And during all this time, she had met and married her husband and had a beautiful bundle of joy. They were a cute little family. I’ll never forget the sad little face of the 3 and a half year old daughter on the day of her mom’s funeral.
The funeral was held in Pleasanton, CA, where we grew up and where her family still resides. But she was buried in Utah, in a town where her daughter and husband could visit her grave site often. I also have the privilege of living in the same town of her cemetery so I visit at least once a month. I went today, on the 2 year anniversary of her death, and found gorgeous roses there that I’m sure are from her hubby and daughter. I nestled my 3 bright pink roses along with the roses already there.
Many people miss her but she will never be forgotten. She was my very best friend for at least 8 years. We met when I was 4 years old. So I knew her for 22 years of her life. She was the oldest in her family. I know she no longer has to suffer through the pain of cancer but she will forever be in our hearts. She was an incredible, fun-loving woman who knew what she wanted in life. A very inspiring person. She was a “Star”.

Also, what’s REALLY cool about this site… is that it was created by the visual and fantastic genius mind of Jen Harland, whom I went to high school with!
So I just had a dinner date with two of my very best friends. I don’t FULLY realize how much I miss people until I’m there with them hanging out again! That’s so stupid! I need to embrace the moments I get to spend along the way, not take them for granted!! Man, time flies. We ended up staying there about an extra hour just catching up on each other’s lives! I think we got more evil stares from the waitress than pennies loose in my purse! LOL! (There were plenty of other tables available, ma’am.) Anyway, life comes at you fast, when you least expect it, I guess. Both of my close friends have either gone through or are going to go through huge milestones in their lives, getting married!!, and it’s amazing to think back to just like 8 months ago when we were all carefree, single, loving life living together and checking out those hot boys we always spotted. I can’t even believe it – I’ve lived in this stinkin cold basement for like 5 months now! I mean, that’s crazy! I remember moving in and telling my parents, I gotta at least stick this out for a month. Just to try it out. And it’s been 5? Wow.
Anyway, it’s good to have people in your life who care about you. When they currently aren’t available or if you yourself are unintentionally “pushing” them away, life SUCKS and you think you’re all alone, that there’s no one in the entire world who cares about you at some points in time. And it’s these times, when I go home to family for vacation, when I meet with my long lost friends whom I love dearly, this is when I can see – right through my own dang eyes! – that there ARE people who care about me and who may have been thinking about me in those lonely moments but I myself refuse to believe that because I don’t think so highly of myself. Wow, just wow. I’m overwhelmed I guess. I don’t realize how much fun, life, and love that friends bring to your life, until it’s gone for a while and I’m missing it. And yeah, those awkward times can be VERY awkward, but in the end – IT’S WORTH IT, duh!!! Even I can admit that. Ga’ak!
Now that this sounds very much like a journal entry, I’ll cut and end it. Sorry for rambling but thanks for reading if ya did.
I don’t post all that often on this here blog, but when I do, it has to have been something special for me to write about it, am I right??? Lol! Okay, enough, Marci! Dang it, shut your mouth-I MEAN stop typing!!! K, later homies. Special shout out to my really good friends who I went to dinner with tonight, you girls have really got it goin on!!!

So I joined another social site…leave it to me to find all these social networks! Haha! Here is the link to my profile on tribe.net if you are interested in the community there. It’s interesting, calls groups “tribes” and it seems good for businesses. I’m an avid user in social networking. Can you tell?
My favorite still is StumbleUpon though. k bye.
