Goodbye Lisa

Last night the blogging world lost a wonderful blogger when Lisa of Clusterfook passed away after a long three-time battle with cancer. I have followed Lisa’s blog for over a year, reading her stories as she learned her cancer was back, as she began to accept her fate, and as she shared the news with family and friends.

I didn’t know Lisa in real life. But I felt her pain and my heart ached for her in her journey. Lisa had a helluva a year last year, but she battled through and never gave up. Sometimes she was happy and thankful, other times she was angry or sad. But she was always true. And she was never afraid to share her story with us.

Many of her posts brought me to tears. Like when she decided to stop chemo and share her last few months at home with the family she loves. And when she told her daughters she wasn’t going to get any better. How do you do that? How do you tell your children you are going to die? The amount of bravery she had is something I truly admire. And as she liked to say, It is what it is. You learn to deal with and accept that with which you cannot change.

Thank you Lisa for being such a great part of this blogging world and teaching us all these important lessons about life. You will be greatly missed.

Goodbye Lisa
