My friend [livejournal.com profile] kateyule died this afternoon after struggling with brain cancer. Kate and I have known each other 20+ years and were very close the last ten or so. We shared a lot of things--art and craft and books and some very personal things. She was funny and very smart, very practical and creative. Kate and her husband [livejournal.com profile] davidlevine and I went to Disney World together, perhaps one of my favorite memories with her; we had so much fun. I introduced her to pin collecting, and she put up with my penny smashing. We did the Buzz Lightyear ride together twice because it was her favorite, and I still have the picture of the two of us madly shooting at aliens. Kate and I baked cookies for David when he took his simulated Mars trip. Astronaut cookies. When she went to the hospital for her first brain surgery I was there with David and her family for the three or four days she had to stay. I couldn't be anywhere else. When I was in the hospital she and David came to see me. That was the last time I saw her, standing at the end of my hospital bed, as I'd stood at the end of hers. I wrote her a note a couple of weeks ago to thank her for, well, everything we shared. David said she smiled when she read it. She knew I loved her. And now she's gone.
