Connecting with Hester
There have been times where I, as well have felt lonely. There are a couple of times actually. Yet, the biggest and most recent time I have felt lonely was during the time Starla was diagnosed with AML Leukemia. From the day we found out, to the day she was released, we were always at the hospital. I felt so alone. It was a hard time. I barely knew what was happening. I just knew one thing... cancer. Of course, everyone, and i do mean every, comforted our family through this time. Classmates I haven't talked to in years messaged me comforting me, but I still felt so alone. I preferred to just stay by myself because no one understood and it just made me feel worse. I had never felt so alone.

Who is Starla? Is she okay now?
ReplyDeleteStarla Chapman is my first cousin. We are very close. Her mom and my mom are sisters. In September 2011 when she was two, she was diagnosed After the first round of chemo she went into remission but she still had to continue taking chemo (which put us through a lot of terrible things) with AML Leukemia. She is doing very good now! She is four years old now, she still had a lot of medication to take though, but other than that she's fine!
