My friend Lisa has lost her fight with cancer.  I mean, I knew it could probably happen...but I kept wishing and hoping that there would be a last minute miracle or something and that she would pop on to Twitter and say, “GUESS WHAT?  I’M BACK!” but I guess cancer doesn’t really work that way. 

She’s at peace now.  For that I am thankful.  She is no longer in pain.  For that I am thankful.  I’m also thankful that I knew Lisa.  I’m thankful for the time that she and I spent on her one-woman blogathon on her Rock Bitch blog one night when she and I got to know one another a lot better.  I’m thankful that she got to spend some quality time with her family before she passed.

Still.

Fuck cancer.  I hope it chokes.
