I just found out that my cousin passed away today. She was only 36. Last winter, she underwent surgery and received a new heart. The surgery was a success, and her body accepted the new organ. I spoke to her after her surgery, and she sounded so good. We were all so relieved. Unfortunately, due to medical negligence her blood sugar level was not monitored for 7 hours, and she slipped into a coma on Christmas. She never woke up. She left behind a loving husband and three beautiful children. She was such a wonderful person, and she will be deeply missed.

Sorry. I really needed to let everyone know, so that they will go hug a family member and let them know how much they mean to you. You never know how long they will be in your lives. Be thankful for all the wonderful people in your life, and know that I am thankful to be a part of this wonderful community.
