My heart aches after reading the farewell from Cancer, Baby. Her real name was Jessica and she was one of the most prolific writers of the blogging generation. She wrote with an intensity that was both beautifully and painfully honest. I related all too well to her desire to have children and the pain of having cancer and its treatment steal that opportunity. She taught me how to be honest about how I felt about having had cancer and not to feel badly about not giving in to the cheerful survivor rhetoric.It is strange how attached one can become to the many friends in the computer, but those of us who shared exchanges via blog or email with Jessica will agree that she was certainly very special. If you have yet to read her blog, I would hope that you could take some time to read the archives. She captures the raw wounds of this disease like no other.
I will miss you, Jessica. My prayers are with you and your family.
