" In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again." - Lewis Carroll, Alice's adventures in wonderland
Life is not like a children's story, but we can learn a lot about the unknown from the words of children. When confronted with a hopeless situation and there seems to be no answer about we're you are going, sometimes you need to just leap into that rabbit hole and have faith that you will come out in wonderland.
A year ago I followed Alice into that rabbit hole.
They say twins develop a bond that can never be broken. Me and my twin sister Rebecca were best friends and inseparable since the day we were born on April 5 1998.
We shared the same like for the colour blue, had the same blond hair- the same blue eyes.
We were sisters- and I thought we could live forever.
She was the one and only person I loved more than life itself. She is too young to die. She can overcome her cancer- and I'm going to help her do it.

Aurelia [h.s.]
"Aren't you afraid?" "Of what? Dying?" "Yes, exactly that." She took a moment to deliberately pick the right words in her mind because she knew he was going to ask why the moment after she answered, "No. Death is unavoidable, it's a part of life that is inescapable since birth. It's written in our very nature. The problem is that people spend too much time worrying about death and not living their lives to their fullest potential. We were born to both live and die and that seems to be forgotten somewhere along the way. I am not afraid of dying even though I could die at any given day at any given time because I'm making the most of my life and I know that something better awaits me when I go." [Edited!]Concluída
