What can I tell you about one of the most striking, gorgeous, vivacious women I know? That she not only tells the world how it is, but shifts her mind with whatever comes her way of acceptance and peace. That when I've given her my opinion which most people just say 'Of course Bekah, you're right.' She comes right back at me and challenges my point, my reasoning, my beliefs. She is one of the sweetest souls I have ever been in contact with. Her spunk, tenacity, and intellect blow my mind and with every single obstacle and devestation with this disease. And with every hit that she and her family has experienced she has been able to view it in the light it is, but still appreciate the small, little things in life on a day to day basis.
To say she can rock the short hair, would be an understatement and I could only dream of having her fashion sense and desire to read about as much Buddhism, meditation, and yogi lifestyles as she does. Pscyhologically she challenges me, as she has an even stronger sense of heart for Psychology and Education and KIDS.
The world, in general need more people like Anne. Her mindset, her love and devotion to her family and friends, her acceptance of the world and the indivduals around her. She makes me a better person by just our email exchanges.
Anne, unfortunately underwent an allo-transplant and the results are not what she or any of us hoped it would be. In addition, she is suffering from painful and advanced GVHD (graft verse host disease).To say that the results of her allo-transplant recently are unfair would be a drastic understatement, and hearts are breaking all around the world for what this horrific, painful, devestating disease does to some of the most amazing people who have graced this earth.
Although I do not want to be filled with anger -- I am. But, what I ask you to please, please do is to go visit Anne's Caringbidge Site and sign her guest book. I know she could use some peaceful and comforting vibes of strength and acceptance during this difficult time.
Love you, my beautiful girl.
Please remember to hug the ones you love today.
