Death While Partying

Happy Happy Friday everyone! I called a friend last week, whom I haven’t spoken with in a couple of months. She told me that her beautiful and bright daughter-in-law, Andrea, passed away from her year long battle with cancer. That was a shocker! The last time we spoke, Andrea was doing well. Andrea’s husband and 11 year son are doing as well as can be expected. A memorial service is up in the air now. The day Andrea passed away was the day I was out partying and having a grand old time. We just sent flowers and a food gift basket.

I am so sorry, this is such a sad news, she surely was too young to die. You are wearing a necklace in this photo almost identical to one I have.

She was way too young. Twins! Lol! Hubs bought me that necklace for our first son’s wedding. He had the setting changed from white gold to yellow gold. You sure have a very expensive necklace!

@DianneN Mine is also white gold, because I like it more. My husband bought the necklace for our 40th anniversary.

@LadyDuck I needed yellow gold to go with my dress. Your husband is very generous with his expensive gifts to you.

This isn't the friend you talked about, is it? It's so sad she passed away. It's going to be a huge loss for her husband and son. It's wonderful you sent flowers and a food basket. My condolences to the family.

No, it’s a friend from my town up north. Thanks. I’m so sad. She was so young and such a good mother and wife. Way too young, too.

@just4him She wanted a child so badly, but had to adopt a baby. She loved him so much. My other friend is doing okay and receiving some of the treatments down here. She won’t return to Long Island until the end of June. I hope it won’t be too late. We talk and text every day.

@DianneN I'm sure she was with an 11-year-old son. It is sad. I'm glad it's not your other friend. I think about her often too and hope she's doing well.

@DianneN , I know it is hard to accept but let's pray for the peace of her soul. At least she not suffering anymore. It's harder to see and watch her suffering in pain. Pray for the husband and children that he may accept it eventually. If we keep holding on so much their souls will have a difficult time to leave earth because she sees the whole family has not accepted it. Tell her that you'll always love her and think of her. I've lost my dad too but we told him, if he has to go, just go we'll be ok and he'll always be loved and remembered. Just continue praying all the time. Please take care of yourself too, she wouldn't want to see you like that because she loves you all so much. I may not understand your real pain, but please take care.

I am so sorry for your loss. Cancer always seems to take beautiful young people way too soon. I can understand feeling guilty. My grandmother passed away when I was gambling at a casino. But, like Uncle Joe said, one has nothing to do with the other.

In this moment when the only news we watch or read are about the COVID-19, we tend to forget that people are dying every day from other terrible ailments. Cancer is one of them. I understand that as I lost one of my grandsons to cancer when he was 7 years old. The bravery of some of these young people make us remember them as Andrea will be in the hearts of her loved ones.

Sorry to hear that. When my father passed away I was also out partying. I didn't know that my father was at the hospital. We live far away from our parents because of our jobs and we didn't have much communication because that time there was no internet yet and distant communication is difficult.
