I kinda just needed to vent this somewhere, sorry if it's not exactly on topic...

so I found out today from a friend of mine that I girl I've known for about 4 years now, died over the weekend. She was in a few of my classes freshman and sophmore years of high school, and I always saw her around during junior and senior year. I remember when she'd disappear for days, sometimes weeks, always coming back to school looking really tired and even smaller than she normally looked. She was tiny, about 5' 2" maybe 100lbs, to my 5'8" 180. She was one of the nicest people I've ever met. She was always willing to help anyone who needed it, always right there to back you up. She had the biggest heart of anyone at school, although she was constantly picked on for being so tiny and sickly. She was always ready with a smile. She was so brave too! I never heard her complain about being sick or being in the hospital. She was always looking forward to the next dance or the next field trip (we were in the Health Careers Academy together). She was voted into the royalty court at a dance once, which she was estatic about. She was a better person that most of the people at school, and they hardly took the time to notice. She was in my graduating class (05!) and she walked the stage in May, which her family was undoubtedly happy about. She had cystic fibrosis.

I will miss her a lot. I usually don't believe in a 'higher power' or what have you, but Heaven got itself another angel this weekend. :angel:

RIP Leslie

Sorry to hear about her passing. It sounds like she got a lot out of life though, as I once heard a CFer say, "There's no use living like you're dead already."

Uhm, im not sure this is the right place to mourne her passing... It certainly doesnt make any of us with CF feel any better =[
