I received word today that my ex-coworker and friend, Mischa, passed away from lupus at the tender age of 25. It was just 3 months ago she was getting ready for the Chinese New Year vacation when her body started malfunctioning and her immune system turning on herself. Soon after, she was in a coma and underwent multiple surgeries to address various complications. But in the end, never having the chance to come out of her coma, she lost her battle.
Mischa was a beautiful person inside and out, always putting on a big smile as she manned the front desk at our office. Learning that she has had to ensure so much turmoil in her family, it's amazing that she could always show up to work with so much energy and enthusiasm, and immediately make everyone feel better. She was one of the kindest souls I've had the pleasure of meeting, and she will be missed.
Mischa, rest in peace.

It's sad that such wonderful people are taken from us so soon, too soon. In the very least, we can take away a lesson to make good use of our time here, and show that we deserve it.
May she rest in peace.
Yeah, it's strange to see her name still in my MSN list because it sits right at the top of my coworker's list. 貓咪公主 - 我肚子好餓 ('.')
Translated for those who don't read Chinese: Cat Princess - I'm hungry.
