A week later, Pinkie and Mr. and Mrs. Field all visit Lily's graveside and put down flowers there and Pinkie also puts down the teddy bear and princess plush that Lily had won at the carnival down at her tombstone. The three's eyes then filled with tears of sadness, grief, pain, and sorrow. "She was taken too early," sighs Mrs. Field.
"Indeed," replies her husband as he puts his hoof over her shoulder.
"I didn't know her long," sniffles a crying Pinkie Pie, "but she was the sweetest filly I ever met." She then puts a red lily down by the filly's grave. "She always had the most upbeat attitude despite her cancer."
"So true," sighs Mrs. Field in response to Pinkie. "So true." She then turns to face the pink pony with the drooping mane. "Do you really think my daughter was the sweetest pony you ever met?"
"Yes, with all my heart," says Pinkie as she turns to face Mrs. Field. "She had a strong heart despite her misfortunes and a strong sense of fun despite her disease."
"Awe, that's so sweet," replies Mrs. Field, her eyes now filling with tears of joy. Mrs. Field, Mr. Field, and Pinkie then leave the cemetery and go off back to their house together for lunch. As they eat, they all recount the fun and joyous times they all shared with Lily. If they can't see her in person anymore, at least, they can see her in their memories and experiences they shared.

Cancer's a delicate subject, and it can't just be told about and dealt with in chapters of 500 words or less. You gotta understand, Cancer effects the lives of everyone who knows the person who has the damn thing, and the recipient itself. I'm sorry to say, but this story's already failed the moment you wrote your very first chapter.

I know it's touchy. I know three people who have died due to cancer.

Youve said that. Were they close, did you cry? Im not attacking your thoughts, just wanna know if their death inspired you to find the cure for cancer, or if their death gave you an idea to write a short book. What happened. I know many close people that have fallen victim to cancer, and the odds are, genetically, that I will get cancer too. It is a very big thing in my life, is it in yours?

Yes. I was close with all three of them. The Chamblains were family friends and Mrs. Sanders was my resource teacher in upper el.

Yes I cried when they all passed away.

Well, it seems we have something in common. I respect you, sir, sorry to seem rude, blunt or offensive in any way. Its just touchy for me and appreciate what you have written. My condolances and respect goes out to you and those who knew your friends.
