Remembering Erna

I had an email today from a friend of a lady I met in Germany, Erna.
I met Erna in May when I went for my first Chemoemolization treatment in Germany.
We both waited in the ward for the nurse to tell us we could leave the hospital and imagined our water being a cocktail.
There was a picture of the human body on the cup the water was in. It was very detailed with intestines and organs clearly marked out as it was promoting the CT agent used to illuminate the orans for a scan..

We had to change that and decided that we weren't in a hospital in Germany, we were lying on the hot sand in the Caribbean drinking "sex on the beach".

We were both in hospital with very serious illnesses but managed to rise above it.

She had a great sense of humour and we hit it off right away.
We had a giggle and it was good to find someone on my wave length.

Unfortunately, Erna passed away on 1st August as she was very ill with Liver cancer.
Her friend emailed me to tell me.

This has been heartbreaking as we had become good friends through email and I will miss her.
Todays blogs are dedicated to Erna.
She was and always will be a truely wonderful lady.
Condolences and special thoughts are sent to her family and friends.

Here's to you Erna, a sex on the beach cocktail which I raise to you. I will never forget you and your wonderful spirit.
