This is the story of a dying girl. Gracie.
And just like every dying person, she had wishes.
Infact she had a bucket list of things she wanted to do before she finally dies.
*
She had cancer of the blood and bone marrow. Chronic lymphocytic Leukaemia.

It develops from a type of white blood cell called B cells and it progresses slowly.
Symptoms may not show until maybe years for some patients.
Her CLL was aggressive and needed chemotherapy treatment early. But it was a little late for her when they discovered.
So wth no early treatment, She had just 5 years to live.

The hospital became her home. She was given a room there to live indefinitely. She could still recall her dad’s gloomy face while decorating her room.

She eventually recovered a little, just like every other days, she found herself retiring to her former routine. Her chats with him.

But when she told him she was sick and was gonna die, he kind of took it differently than she expected.
He asked her why. And her reply was probably the last message on their chat till this day.

If he blocked her or something, she just doesn't know. she could never find him again on social media.
She cried for weeks. He was supposed to be her best friend.

She was never gonna make peace with Cancer or resign to fate. No way.
Eventually she stopped treatment 2 yrs later when she got her independence.
No matter the treatment, she would never be able to live as long as she wants anyway. So why prolong the torture?

But that was a difficult decision to make nonetheless because she stopping the treatment meant she'd have to die earlier than 5 years.

But she’d rather make peace with that as long as she could do whatever she wanted before dying.

.....................

It's all about love, drama, regret.
