I'm writing because I'm so sad and I'm not sure most people in my daily life will understand.
My lovely friend is very ill in hospital and is most likely dying. She is on the other side of the world. She has cystic fibrosis and I believe she is now in the end stage.
We worked together several decades ago but have always kept in touch sporadically over the years. We worked together in the Far East 25 years ago. We were placed in a flat together. It was a tough work placement and it really bonded us. We could go years with no contact but managed to meet up twice when she visited Britain. We have always had great love and esteem for each other.
She emailed earlier today to say she was keen to chat as she is in a bad state, in hospital and finding it difficult to talk now. I'm going to call her tomorrow morning.
I'm just so very, very sad. She is a beautiful soul who has dealt with huge adversity in her life with great grace, courage and dignity.
Please pray for her and hold her in your hearts🙏 😢 Her name is Kel. Thank you x
