Yesterday, Elena Skripka passed away. I loved this girl so much! I also know that I was not the only one who loved her. Dozens, if not hundreds, of people prayed for Elena, raised money for her treatment, worried about her. Elena was diagnozed with ovarian cancer with metastases back in 2007. I don’t know how she managed to endure so much suffering, especially during the last two months of her life. The pain that she had was merely unbearable. Honestly speaking, I cried right in front of the computer monitor when I read an email from her saying, “I am all right. Just sometimes I have some pain…” I cried because I knew what type of pain it was! But that’s just the way Elena was. She apologized for being “out of shape” to her grandfather who came to see her a few days before she died. She was encouraging her parents and friends. Elena was a very strong girl. She was a very wise girl. She was a very beautiful girl. She was a very cheerful girl. She was a very kind girl. She was a very just girl. She was a very, very, very… I don’t think I will need any more words to tell you about how much people loved her. We love you, Elena. We will always love you, no matter where you would be. Thank you for being in our lives!
