melinda

The last two coherent words she spoke were..."I'm unstoppable."  This from a group email her daughter sent out on Wednesday morning a few hours after Melinda left us. Never in my life have I met anyone quite like Melinda.  Her energy and positive spirit kept stage IV ovarian cancer at bay for almost 6 years.  She defied doctors, nurses and modern medicine. She was a living lesson on how to live fully present and in the now. I know she reached out to a few readers of this blog who had cancer or who had friends that did.  That was her way, always caring, a friend to everyone and always with her big smile. I've never lost a close friend before and the feeling of emptiness is immense and unexplainable.  I don't know how to act or what to say all I know is that I miss her so much.  x
