A friend and fellow dancer passed away last night at around 6:50. Her name was Kyla. Last year she was diagnosed with an ovarian cancer tumor, and just before Christmas the doctors declared her cancer free and sent her home... Well, in late January she was feeling really sick and went to the doctor. She had a new tumor. It seemed pretty treatable and so this past February she went in for surgery. They found a new tumor growing while they were taking out the old one. They couldn't treat this one. Kyla was diagnosed as terminal.
It's really hard because I used to take class with her and her sister, and I have been teaching her little brother in karate for the past year. Kyla was always bright, and cheerful, even in the face of death. We always talked about books, music, dance, movies, whatever we could, while she sat and did craft projects. She was a one-of-a-kind girl, and she will be greatly missed. Please keep her loved ones in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
