Never Good-bye...

Sorry to butt in, but Suzy was diagnosed with MS in May or June, 2009 and they moved to Iowa last August. Amy told me that they changed Suzy's diagnosis from "regular" MS to malignant MS this fall.

From my reading on the subject, it seems that this type is exceptionally bad and is pretty rare. It kills within months instead of years or decades. It fits that Suzy would have this kind. That girl never did ANYTHING half way.

I am going to miss her greatly. She was one hell of a woman. I found out about her passing this weekend when Amy called me.

Although Suzy was my friend, I'm more concerned about Amy (and by extension the girls). Her poor heart is broken to pieces.

She is living in the middle of no where and she said that she doesn't have any family or friends to turn to. This makes sense because Suzy's family rejected them and Amy doesn't have any family left. She also probably doesn't have any close friends there either because she was always more than satisfied with Suzy. The fact that she reached out to me makes that VERY clear.

As far as those two were concerned the world revolved each other and their kids and the rest of us were just along for the ride. I don't think I've ever seen a deeper love than the one between those two.

Though I'm sure Amy doesn't know this, she's not alone. There are many of us would love to be her friend, if for no other reason than to honor Suzy. She spoke so sweetly of Amy. Her humorous take on their life together, the joy they shared in their children makes her a part of our lives.

Some of us are nearby, too--near enough to plan a spring visit.

Thank you for allowing us get to know her a bit better.

She was someone worth sharing.

I only knew Safe online, but I miss her. Yes, Safe had Marsburg MS. I didn't think I should say anything, but since Sandy has, I'll chime in. This type is very rare and moves very quickly.
Safe was the second person in my life who had this type. The other person was a very athletic lady from my high school. She died literally weeks within the diagnosis.

I would love to be Amy's friend. I know what it is like to lose your partner so suddenly. It's devastating. I"d like for Amy to know that I'm around if she needs someone.
