[Kristine]

Hello to all of you,

I don't know exactly how to say what I came on here to say easily. My name is Amber, I'm a long time friend of Kristine's, I've known her since elementary school. She became very ill through out the end of last year and has progressively gotten worse and sporatically better through this entire year. They found a tumor on her uterus and they removed it but cancer had already spread, they didn't want to directly go to removing the organ itsself but instead tried chemotherapy. I'm in her hospital room right now, on her lap top, and I've noticed for a long time that this has been her home page. And as she's made it very loud and clear, this band, 30 Seconds to Mars, is her favorite band(though she's told me she thinkg some people here don't like them at all). She used to talk about the band all the time, even the boards sometimes (to me at least, she's a little embaressed about coming on here often). She may not post here a lot, well at least not anymore, but she does look around and sign on nearly every day. Since late thursday night, Kristine has been in critical condition and on Sunday afternoon, her heart stopped for about a half a minute. When I got on her lap top today I noticed that she was still signed on.

Sure most people probably don't talk to her, or maybe don't even remember her anymore. It's been a while since she's gotten to just be another bored teenager on the computer. Most of the time she doesn't have time to be bored, cause she'll be sleeping and when she's not sleeping she's just trying to live whatever kind of life she currently can.

I think I've rambled on enough and I should just get to the point. It's only been a little over 24 hours since her family was told she's in a coma and it's been hard on everyone of them. Her parents and her brothers are terrified as well as all of her friends. I think since some of you might still consider her some sort of friend that I could just let you all know... I called this Dear Kristine becuase I was hoping that maybe all of you could just hope and think about her, and all the people like her, for just one minute a day even cause perhaps there is a God, and maybe if enough people just stop just to care about the people who are sick with uncurable diseases, maybe he'll help the human race find a cure... It's a long shot, but I'm desperate enough to ask this of all of you who read this... Maybe it's not Kristine that you know who's been affected affected with cancer, maybe it's someone you know and love very much... but please, I'm asking for just one minute of your time.... if what you do is pray, then please pray, anything and everything can help. Maybe it won't cure her, maybe it wont save her life... but maybe it will help someone else...

Thank you for reading this,
Amber.

Amber,

Thank you so much for coming on here and letting us know. Kristine has always been sunshine around these parts, even through her tough times. I know that a lot of us on here have made really wonderful relationships through our time on the forum, and although I didn't talk to Kristine as much as many, I'm certain that there are many people on here that she was very close to.

I am keeping her in my thoughts. She's a sweet, sweet girl.

Oh my god.

Please give her our love and tell her we're thinking of her, even if you think she can't hear you. And tell her family she has our best and sincerest wishes for her to get better... <3

Thank you for letting us know.

[AxeGoddess]

Amber,

I'm keeping you and Kristine and her family in my heart and in my thoughts.

*big hugs* to all of you.

I have to echo what Lily said. Kristine's a sweetheart, and I'm most definitely thinking about her. I've been wondering lately how she was doing, and I'm sorry to hear that it's not good news. *sigh* Thank you, Amber, for posting. You're all in my thoughts. <3

[Jstreetstar]

Her family, you and her are all in my thoughts and prayers.

[Kelissima]

She's a lovely person who has suffered much and deserves the life she's yet to live...

*whispers to Spencer to watch over her, and send her back...*


*whispers to God: Give her back her lemons, you bastard! *

[Grunge_Girl]

I'll keep her in my thoughts. I don't know the last time I talked to her but I remember all the good times talking to her about anything and everything so I really hope she pulls through.

My thoughts are with all of her friends and family. <3

*whispers to Spencer to watch over her, and send her back...*

I second this.

[Echeloness]

Oh dear.

I'm a newb here, but this is sad to hear. Thank you Amber for coming on and letting those who did know her what's going on.

Kristine, her family, and her friends will be in my thoughts.

[Leavchip]

Let Kristine know that she is loved here and being prayed for. She is a sweetheart and has fought this battle as only a warrior can.
She is definately in my prayers and on my heart...
Amber if you need to talk, we are here for you also..

I was actually thinking about her earlier. I was afraid she had left us. I'm happy those fears have been put to rest.

I, too, will be keeping her in my thoughts. It breaks my heart what she's going through. It's bullshit.

I'm not a praying man, but I know people who are, and so help them God if they don't pray.

Kristine's such a sweetheart. Goes without saying that I hope to the God that I had previously mentioned I don't pray to that she'll be okay.

Prayers are lifted up... to the God you don't pray to but I do... huggs to you also..

[tcbbaby]

I will definitely say a prayer for her, her family, and you as well Amber. You are a great friend and it shows. Please let her know that we are all praying for her.

[Alexandros]

Oh dear God...

I'm keeping Kristine and family in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm so sorry to have read this. I don't think I have interacted with Kristine here like other people who seem to know her better but recently I noticed the picture in her signature and wanted to tell her in a random post how much I like it.


Thank you Amber for telling us. I wish the best ever for your good friend.

I pray she will wake up.

*hugs*

[ayousu]

Amber thanks for your post.

I will keep Kristine in my mind and prayers. She's a wonderful girl and doesn't deserve this shit that's been served to her. She's been through so much and her ability to keep positive is astounding, I hope she is able to keep her strength and fight on. My thoughts are also with her mom and brothers.

[silvita]

Amber: I have no words to say, only strength to Kristine, her family, and her friends and you.
I will pray and think about her...

many :hugs: from Argentina

[candyobandy]

Thank you so much Amber for taking the time and letting us know.

Kristine is very well loved.

There is a GOD, the GOD of all creation, and I will pray for her, and her family and her dear friends, like you.

May you continue to have strength and courage,

Candy

[Grungex]

This is very sad news. My thoughts are with you, Kristine and her family at this time.

[Innocence lost]

I'm so sorry to hear this. I didn't really get to know her as I took a long break from the boards. But no one should have to go through that. I will pray for her, her family and friends.

[SaDistiC]

Oh dear Lord! This post is really heart breaking

My thoughts and prayer are with her.... we were not close..but sickness is always a hard thing to deal with.
I just lost someone to illness 2 days ago..I know how you feel Amber..and i am sorry for all the people that love her.
I m sure she knows the Echelon are with her in prayer. That s how we roll around here.
Thank you so much Amber for the updates...dont give up hope sweety.
Big hug for both of you from Canada
