My friend, Bianca, passed away October 30, 2018. She had complications from a second double lung transplant. She didn't have cf but we bonded over our health, music, movies, writing, and life experiences. She was the most beautiful person, full of light and love, always making people smile and laugh. She was so much more hopeful and positive than I could comprehend. One day I am going to do something special for Child Life in her memory, as I have always loved Child Life, and that was her passion as well.
Bianca's brother set up a GoFundMe to help afford Bianca's Services.
Most of the holidays are full of painful memories for me of losing friends and difficult life events. The Fall and Winter, especially are tough, as I always think of things with different perspectives and not just with my own feelings. The amount of people who severely impacted my life that are gone is more than I can count on both hands, but with every person that goes, I remember important things they've said or lessons they have taught me. Sometimes I don't learn them until it's too late to thank them.
So to everyone who has taught me something important, or been there for me, thank you. I hope you spend the holidays safe and warm, making new memories and traditions, and spreading love to the people around you.
Although life can be overwhelming and difficult, it's important to remember:
"The moment you're ready to quit is usually the moment right before a miracle happens. Don't give up". - Bianca.
Until Next Time,
Sara ♥
