Abigail MacQueen

So, I got some pretty awful news yesterday. A friend from Scotland I had met here in China passed away the other day from kidney failure. Her name was Abi and she was just outrageous, or maybe it only seemed that way because of her Scottish accent. She had just returned home and after only a little while needed to be hospitalized. Nobody really knows what caused it or if she came in contact with something while in China, but either way it just doesn't seem fair. She was so full of life and probably liked just about everyone. She taught me a little bit about letting go and having a good time. About doing your thing while you have time to do it. I'd only known her a short time, and just in time I guess. I'm glad she got back in time to be with her friends and family, and I guess we are all going to have to just live a little extra to make up for the loss. Still I wonder how these things can just happen and why to certain people. There isn't really any rhyme or reason to it. Just our ability to accept it or not.

In honor of Abi, I'll accept it and try to live my life to the fullest. And I'm still going to find a guy with an even more epic last name for her :)
