My friend had battled cancer for about a year and a half. She was 19 years old. Just as it was looking like it was clearing up she was given the news she had a week left.
She was in constant pain. Morphine wasn't even having an effect. Her spine was ripped apart by tumors and she lost movement and feeling in her legs.
She died on the 14th of May, Mothers Day, at her home holding her mum's hand with her family.

Her funeral was yesterday. There was a MASSIVE turnout - more people than could fit into the building. It was amazing.
In memory of a time when her and her twin sister made a sparkler bomb and blew up the road as kids, everyone lit a sparkler that night in her memory.
Rest in peace, V. You were a trailblazer; you made highschool more fun than it should have been.

Now that the funeral is out of the way I'll be going back to art college after taking two weeks off. My teachers say that I am welcome to another week off, two for mourning and one for illness, but I really don't want to be three weeks behind on five subjects.
Id rather get on with things and heal.

Hopefully I'll be doing more things and posting them here - drawing for fun and all that. Id like to open commissions soon in one form or another and draw some birds!

In other news, Stefán Karl Stefánsson (Robbie Rotten from Lazy Town) has had his cancer pop up again and is going back for treatments. Doctors say it is easily removable, but cancer is a fickle beast that can pop up and ruin everything at any moment. I know that first hand.
if you have money to spare for the family there is a Gofundme or something for them. Look it up. At the very least, make a few memes.
V would like that too, the filthy memer...
