Recommended Blog - XiaoDouDou

While doing my usual daily blog-surfing today, I stumbled upon a blog which I would like to share with you - XiaoDouDou.

This blog was written by a 27-year-old girl who lived in Singapore. I used the past tense because she started the blog to record her struggles with stage-3 cancer, and she passed away last month.

I read all her entries, from the day she started her journal, to the last days, when her girlfriend (she was gay) wrote on her behalf when she was too weak to do so. Even though I never knew her, I admired her strength and resilience, and even more, the love and support she received from her family and friends during her tough period.

Do check it out.
