For Rachel

Stones

My friend, she was my best,
Has stones in her head;
Tumours that grew in spite of the knife,
Untimely, uninvited, malicious.
Wrong.

I want to be cremated, she says,
Make things easy.
No headstone, she says.
Carrying them round is enough.

That's beautiful.
I'm so sorry. Cancer is a vile, ugly beast that takes beautiful people from us. But we'll always remember them, and the light they brought into our lives. xx

Awesome poem that says so much about her so succinctly but I am so sorry that it needed to be written. (Hug) for everyone touched by this sadness.

That's heartbreaking, yet it shows her sense of humour, and the thing you'll remember most about her. *hugs*
