She is a strong girl

                  She taught us   how  to   face   the challenges in life. This is about one of my friend who was caught by cancer at the age of 16. 

                  She was such a nice girl everyone would like. I had  never seen her with a sad face. She was not  rich. She was not so brilliant in studies but was always ready to help others . 

                 The symptom of cancer in her was continuous cough until she have suffocation.  She became physically weak by the end period of our higher secondary education. Doctors were not even able to find the disease. Then she was recommended to a speciality hospital. 

                              One day morning i came to know  that she is having lung cancer which is very rare. The doctor specified that she is in the second stage and it is very difficult to be cured. 

                      The conditions through which she passed was something unimaginable. She lost all her long hair with which we use to have fun at class time when sitting at her back bench. Her body became so lean.  And the pain after every chemo was something unbearable . 

               But she defeated it with her great courage and confidence. At times when all others were weeping for her she consoled us. Which we were supposed to do. 

                       For me upto that time, cancer was only a disease that kills many people . Then i realised it is something worse that can happen to a person. 

                       And i must say that,  now she  is much stronger than ever before. She has all that power to withstand any situation in life with a positive attitude

  Nothing can take away you, my dear
