my heart hurts...
Dec. 31st, 2010 12:49 pmMy friend Lisa's son lost his battle with cancer yesterday. This gorgeous little boy battled for so long, was so courageous....reading Lisa's journal makes me sob, feel so humble. What the hell do I have to complain about?
I have known Lisa since I was about 7. She was the niece of my first dance teacher. She yelled at me when I cried when my parasol wouldn't open on stage in my first solo. Her brother Rob was my first boyfriend (shit, he was my first everything)....I have known her entire family most of my life. I directed her in The Glass Menagerie in uni...we did so many shows together...she is a talented, amazing woman.
We lost track of each other over the years...but thanks to FB we reconnected...I followed Aiden's struggle, but always thought he would pull through. He had the Hamlin spirit...he just would fight and win....that's the way the Hamlins are....
They had a good Christmas...Mark Sanchez from the NY Jets made that little boy smile...his hero took the time out to make Aiden his friend and give him joy.
My heart goes out to Lisa and her family. I wish there was something I could do. I hope that they take comfort that he is no longer in pain and can now just look down on them and keep an eye on them....
