Sometimes is it hard to be so far away from home.
In early November 2010 not long after I moved here, my boyfriend (C) and I were told the sad news that C's cousin Nathan was diagnosed with angiosarcoma which is a rare and aggressive form of sarcoma that is incurable.
On March 10, 2011 Nathan lost his battle with cancer. I really wish I could be there for my boyfriend during this time. Looking at my schedule and the cost of plane tickets there is no way I can be there for the funeral.
It is so hard to talking to (C) over skype when I would rather be there with him. But he understands I am not 'superwomen' that I can not be there right now and he appreciates talking to me. But still my heart breaks for (C) and Nathan's young wife.
I did what I could; I ordered flowers and sent a card with a donation to Nathan's wife and I sent (C) a card also.
Because I am living on the other side of the world, I really can not do much. I would like to ask my friends and family to please say a few extra prayers for Nathan and his wife. If any one wants to send a sympathy message to Nathan's family please do so through the funeral home website link below:
Thank you for all your love and support.
