@LookAlive
So I'm sure most of you know about my friend being diagnosed with leukaemia. Because of this, I have decided to run the Race for Life. I'd really appreciate it if you could sponsor me here http://www.raceforlifesponsorme.org/all-saints-girls Even as little as 10p would make a difference to me! :) Oh and there's also that bonus of me being your best friend forever if you do donate ;)
@TheHurler Yeah, I love it :)
@TheHurler Aw thank you, I really appreciate it! Yep, just changed it :)
@IrishHurler It's hard for him, I have to stay strong for him and not be selfish about it all. After all, it's him going through it. So to stop myself from breaking down, I've been burying myself in school work and this project I'm doing at school where everyone makes a video message with a donation of 50p. We'll then put it all together and send the DVD to him to watch, and the money will be donated to the hospital he's at. I thought of the idea during English and everyone's been helping me and stuff. It's the only way I can take my mind off of things and feel as though I am helping in some way. Thanks, but I'm only doing what I have to do.
@LetoAtreides Thanks, I know. That's what shocked me the most. You hear of young people and children becoming ill but you never think it's actually real as such until it affects you in some form. I hope so! He's always been so strong so I'm hoping by running this race, it'll just show him that I'm here for him :)
@True_Colours Thank you, and I'll be sure too. Thanks, I'm determined to finish the race. It's only 5k but I struggle to run to the bus stop, so hopefully it'll be quite fun preparing as well. I just want to make him proud, and know that I am still supporting him. :)
@LookAlive I'm sorry to hear about your friend. That is a tough thing to happen for a young person particularly. It is nothing to feel guilty about, it is an illness that can inflict on anyone, it is just unfortunate. You are doing a good thing by running the race for life for them, and remember that you doing that may well inspire them a bit and give them renewed hope. :)
Hey, so I know I promised to be on more regular now, but something's happened. My friend has been diagnosed with leukaemia. I only found out today, and well, I just feel an indescribable pang of guilt. Sometimes it's hard to breathe, you just start remembering how close you once were, and how you let yourselves drift a part. That's time you'll never get back. I just feel incredibly guilty, the last time I had a proper conversation with him was 3 weeks ago. You just don't expect something like this to happen to someone you know, especially at his age.
I'll be running the Race for Life for him and raising as much money as possible. So because I am completely unhealthy, I will have to put in lots of practise. I'll try to write, as this does help take my mind off of things. But if I'm not around for a while, you know why.
Sorry I haven't been very active as of late. But, between being ill and revision, I have still managed to upload the prologue to my new story. It's more of a thriller/sci-fi but there may be a romantic twist written in ;) Anyway, it's still going to be a short story, 9 chapters only (if you exclude the prologue), so I'd really appreciate it if you checked it out and commented with what you think. Thanks :)
@IrishHurler I'm really sorry I haven't been on in a while! I've been quite ill, then I have revision for my upcoming exams. It's no problem, I've fallen behind with reading also. I'll go and check it out now :)
