If not and it is you guys that means I didn’t make it. Game, set and match the big C. Once again Dana Fairbanks is only the runner up. These last few days the idea that this thing might actually have the beating of me has burrowed its way into my mind. I know I need to fight that idea to keep going but some days it’s just so damn hard. As I write this I haven’t told any of you I’m seeing a therapist but maybe by the time you read it I’ll have shared that with some of you. If not I’ll tell you now, her name is Charlie and this is all her idea so if you don’t like it blame her!
Basically yesterday when I saw her and told her how worried I was that I might not make it she asked me what it was that scared me most if that was true. When I thought about it, the simple answer I came up with was missing out on the rest of my life. She told me that if I left her office and got hit by a bus that what I have had until that moment was my life and I didn’t miss out on anything because it’s all I ever had and I lived it all. That pissed me off.
But then I thought about it and realised she had a point. It’s not actually my life I’m going to miss because I’ll never get to have it anyway but what I will miss out on is the lives of the people who are important to me. Now I know you guys all tease me for stating the obvious but just in case you weren’t sure, those people who are important to me are you lot sitting around this table in The Planet. (That’s where you are right? Oh and while we’re on the topic of me being right did Alice tell you all she already peeked?)
So, that scares me, missing out on all your lives. What scares me even more though is that this dorky awkward personality I’ve been given has prevented me from telling you all how I feel about you and what you’ve meant to me and as Charlie pointed out that is something I can fix so this is my attempt to do that. I warn you however I’ve never really written anything other than school papers before and my first excursion into this world is being done with chemo brain so if it sucks which it probably will it’s the chemo’s fault but if it’s a literary masterpiece that’s all Dana!

awww yay. I’m glad Dana had the forethought to write this all out for her friends. That’s real love for ya. Now if only they could have shown even a smidgen of that kind of resolution in the show.
Damn but that really hit in the heart, made me’s even more ticked off how her parents treated Dana and the gang in the show. Beautiful story and really you deserve all the WOWS cause really sums it up!
WOW. that’s all I can say. WOW this is absolutely great! Please continue the good work. I really hope We’d get to read the personal letters hehe. They are a great family, it’s just unfortunate that that letter was way overdue. At least Alice did make the right decision of having their own funeral the way she wanted, proves how close they truly were. Even if Dana’s dead i think this good that after all that’s happened they’re finally able to have some sort of closure and that they all can talk about Dana again. I don’t even think Tasha knows about D even on the show. Anyway, thanks for updating and PPS:D
I second that WOW! Beautifully written and so emotional. Well Done this really is amazing, can’t wait to see what everyone has in their parcels and Damn Sharon and Irwin for putting her in the damn family vault!!
I endorse that first WOW and want to add one of my own. WOW!!! Now that the tears are over and I can see to type, I can say it’s amazing how well Dana knew them and how well Alice knew her also. The seniments in that letter are so heartfelt. I love it. PPS.
And yet another WOW – this is awesome – I am about to go on holiday, but don’t want to now, as want to read more of this.
This will be the 5th “WOW”. What more can I say. This just brought tears to my eyes agaion. That means you have written a fantastic chapter! Like I said before, I will never get over D’s death. Thank you for writing this story.
