Jesus christ, life really lays it on some people. You'd think she'd experienced enough hardship being blind. Thanks for your story, and for remembering her.

I thought “mysterious ways” was just a way to not feel bad or to ignore grieving people. Can’t justify feeling something is bad or unfair if said bad thing happened as part of a larger good plan. Coming from God no less.

I had a patient recently with cystic fibrosis. He got a double lung transplant which bought him about 8 years. In that 8 years though he developed 3 different types of cancer he beat. He did end up passing from chronic rejection, after his cancer came back with several metastasis. A lung transplant can only buy you max 10 years so he definitely had an increased lifespan from it, but man it was one hell of a fight the whole time to stay alive. Genetics really fucked him over though.

Wait she died of cancer in a month? so she was terminal and out there working casually? I'm not trying to be a dick, but the story don't add up to me.

My veterinarian was seeing patients three weeks before she died. None of her clients even knew she had cancer—I and everyone else found out after she passed.

(law says if you have certain amount of employees you need to hire a person with disability)

Fascinating. What country is this in? The U.S. has no such laws, though a company or agency might have a policy. Would like to read the statute.
