I'm shocked. my cousin, 21, who has been battling the aftermath of brain cancer for the past 9 years, has just passed away this morning. I'm shocked because I was supposed to visit her today afternoon. if only I came home from camp earlier yesterday morning, I would have joined my mum during her visit to see my cousin for the last time.
I don't know how to handle this internally. this is the first time I'm losing someone who's closer to me. my cousin and I used to play together when we were younger, sleepovers and everything. but we grew apart when we got older.
it's the mixed feelings inside. on one hand, I'm sad that she's passed away. on the other, I feel relieved for her, for her sufferings have ended finally. nevertheless, she fought a good battle when she was alive, for she remained optimistic about her illness, and gained respect from people of all walks of life.
she's a christian. I would like to think that she's in a better, and more peaceful place right now.
I hope she rests in peace. and my condolences to the family for their loss.
I will miss you, cuzzie.
