I thought I read that she had postponed it?

Yes, but today she had decided to follow through with it.

I was so surprised (as I'd mentioned), having seen the video of her postponement only yesterday.

She is no longer with us now.

Ah, I didn't realize. Well, I believe pretty strongly that it was her choice to end her life how and when she wanted. Very sad story though.

Me too. I think it's wonderful that the Death With Dignity act exists. I'm glad that she was able to take advantage of this and die peacefully rather than be a victim of seizures, or to experience the possibility of cancer spreading to vital organs and causing her extreme pain. It's so sad that this happened to her so young (only 4 years older than I am today).

I hear you on how young she was. She was eight years younger than me.

For real. I'd be all like "dude, this sucks really bad, I'm sure you understand"

god's all like "nah, you know what I said"

I'm like "get with the times, God, shit."

Jesus in the background being like "oh snap, bitch!"

So young. So, so young.

I know this girl who got married at age 22ish. Her husband battled leukemia for 2 years (he was 24-26ish when he passed). He had his sperm frozen and now she has twins (boy and a girl). Typically I'm condescending about people in the developed world breeding, but she grew up in a family that loves children and genuinely loves people, so I'm rooting for her every day. She is such a kind, wonderful woman.

She had to watch him in his final stages of leukemia, as it spread throughout his entire body. She watched him die, helplessly. I hope that the Death With Dignity act is soon granted to her home state.
