I graduated from pharmacy school at Samford on May 20, 2006. Three days later my best friend Brittany was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. For almost two months, Brittany fought with unbelievable courage and hope that never wavered. On July 20, Brittany lost her battle with cancer. What can I say about Britt that everyone doesn't already know? There was never a dull moment when Brittany was around. She could always make you smile, whether it was a comforting word or a sarcastic comment. She loved her family, they were the most important people in her life. I have tried to remember the day I was introduced to Brittany. However, that day does not exist in my mind. My family moved to Stonehedge when I was 4 years old. A few months later, Brittany's family moved in across the street. As far as I am concerned, we have always been friends. There has never been an event in my life when Brittany wasn't right there with me. Tests, presentations, separate schools, divorce, lots of trouble (usually involving alcohol and/or City Stages!), relationships, break ups, interviews, acceptance letters, beach trips, road trips, surgeries, the loss of grandparents, promotions, illness, even Board exams. Brittany was truly as much a part of my life as my own sister. But I know that a part of her will always be with me. My life is forever changed, and I will miss my friend until I see her again. Until that day, I am devoted to ovarian cancer research and awareness, and advocacy for a cure.
